What is that hair growing out of my chin? Where did it come from? Somewhere within?
What is that flab when I hail for a cab? Why is it there?
Why do I care?
"Who is that face in the mirror?" I moan.
The wrinkles, the crinkles, the dryness, the tone.
Oh how the years have flown by,
With friends and family, I know I can't lie.
But how can it be that my younger me,
Has grown up dreading my ass that keeps spreading?
I know what I need! I know what I'll do!
I'll sit here quietly drinking my wine and possibly all will turn out just fine.
Yes, that's what I'll do! That's what I need!
Fill my glass to the rim with a ruby red zin!
In the morning I'll see it was all a bad dream!
EEEEKKK!!!!! …show more content…
And the wrinkles aren't gone.
The line in the sand has been drawn!
The battle begun, for the face of the young!
Now for the newest, ever greatest, get the latest
Anti-crinkle, anti-wrinkle,
Anti-aging, dark spot fading,
Brightener, lightener, ever tight-ener,
Smoother, straight-ener, anti-puffin'.....
…..ooooh a muffin!
Two months have gone by and my drawers and cupboards are filled to the brim with the lotions, the potions, the scrubs and the rubs, the ointments and creams.
It all is too much, it makes me just scream!
The fountain of youth was here I just knew it.
In 6-8 weeks my face was to prove it.
The serums, the salves, the powders, and potions,
The opinions, the comments, the gossip, the notions.
Belie life's meaning, our purpose, our mission;
To live life to the fullest despite our condition.
Hair dye may cover the age of a mother,
But her wisdom and worth shall not be smothered.
The strength and substance, the weight of her worth
Is seen in her actions and words; not her face or her
