And I smile…
Im not getting younger.
Im not looking any smarter.
Im more out of shape.
My hairline – well I don’t have one.
My boyish looks is replaced with a more mature look
A mix of wrinkles, rough skin and ruggedness
That only comes with time
I look at myself in the mirror.
And I smile…
I wonder what happened
Where did the time go…
Where did those years pass….
Where those promises vanish…
Where did those people fade away….
I fee different…
Because this feeling comes only with time….
I look at myself in the mirror.
And I smile…
I am no longer making big plans..
I am no longer being too ambitious…
I am no longer thinking too great…
I am no longer wishing too much..
All I want is now to be happy…
That all I seek for now and forever…
As these lessons come to you only with the passing of time..
I look at myself in the mirror.
And I smile…
Those who mocked me loudly and today silent in humility
Those who laughed at me publicly are crying privately
Those who advised me as experts are now confused as amateurs
Those who felt they done it all have now lost it all…
I don’t judge anyone or wish them bad…
As I have no remorse…
Something that you learn…with the coming of time…
I look at myself in the mirror.
And I smile…
It’s a beautiful life that I have lived
Blessed by the good and honored by the bad
Accepted by the few and rejected by the many
Wept those tears of joy and wiped those tears of pain….
welcomed many expectations…and adjusted to the few surprises
Yes, I have lived my life wonderfully and now I am ready to die happily
Something you learn to accept….at the end of time.
