I Can’t Think Why

Ruby Hawk on Apr 21, 2008

I get a shock every time I look in the mirror.

A silver haired lady with quiet blue eyes
Stared out of my mirror at me in surprise
Almost as surprised as I
With my auburn brown tresses and blue bonnet eyes
I can’t think why

    I love this one. It reminds me that I am not the only one who sees someone else when they look in the mirror. ;-)

    I haven’t seen ’short and sweet’ expressed in such a perfect way in a long time. Very funny too. Thankfully, I’ve got no grey hairs yet, so that helps.

    Thanks to all you guys. That little poem says it all. I hardly know that lady I see in my mirror. She certainly doesn’t look like me.

    Ruby you are still a beautiful lady. I know because I see your picture.
