" Wrinkles "

OMG...when did this happen ?

Wrinkle, wrinkle on my face…

Couldn't you have found some other place ?

What made you furrow between my eyes ?

And all those creams, they are nothing but lies….

When I look in the mirror, all I can see…

Is a whited haired person staring back at me….

Then there are the lines , which run down the sides of my nose…

Running in circles, round my lips, down my neck and into my clothes….

Speaking of clothes , isn’t that where the wrinkles should be ?

Is nature playing a trick on me ?

Or is this a sign “ old “ is sneaking up on me ?

It seems only yesterday I was a young girl .. and had my whole life ahead of me…

So simple..so free……

But don’t take me wrong I have enjoyed my life’s ride…

And there isn't much in my life, I haven’t tried….

But it sure would be nice if I could just see…

myself with one less wrinkle…when I look back at me…..
