That girl in the mirror
is getting older –
looking back at me.
I can’t help but wonder
if she has become
all she was meant to be.
I see some wrinkles
and a few creases –
that’s okay, they were earned.
Chalk them up to life
and a life lived fully
always shows the lessons learned.
So now that girl I see
knows a few more things
and can see clearer.
Some lessons I’ll share
and others I’ll keep
between me and the mirror.

I haven’t got any wrinkles yet, my skin is changing and I certainly don’t look anything like my twenties, but no wrinkles. I’m wondering if they are waiting to arrive all at once! I don’t think any of us feel we have become who we wanted to be – even the successful, don’t always feel they’ve arrived! 🙂
True! That’s what makes life so wonderful. There is no such thing as a straight road in life.
