The Face

 

A page upon

which many lines are written

 

a photo album

of the past

 

the face becomes

a mirror back in time

 

as age becomes

a caricature

 

a book with pages

worn from use

 

the face of life

so unaccomplished

 

yet reminding us

of those forgotten years

 

a life still worth

the living.
