Reflections Of A Life

Every morning you come to me Every morning I wait patiently for you Shimmering in the light of the moon You come with the dawn and look I am the waters of life and you gaze Through the ripples that come with the breeze And I reflect your image. You look and stare. You see wrinkles and laughter lines, then pout. Then you take some of me home Where I refresh your thirst and wash away Those wrinkles and give you that freshness Only a friend can give. I can quench and ease the pain that disturbs you. I am here to support you, to give that rest that is eternal As you stare at your image and wonder And deeply reflect on your life.
