This is a great presentation, Diana. I like the color scheme and the picture is a great pairing with your well-chosen words. Those words flow smoothly with great rhymes and end with a great message. There is much meaning to your poem for all. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love and Admiration, Jan.

Your kind words are so appreciated! I always see pics with older woman looking into a mirror and seeing younger woman, so this really grabbed my attention! :) xoxo

As we grow older, reflecting on our lives and what was important, what message of value we could pass on, having a loving heart and spirit is surely the most important one. Your poem is an interesting way to show this, as an image in a mirror... past, present, and future blending.

Comment from June Sargent
In the end, the only thing that matters is whether we loved and were loved in return. That is the whole reason for living. Everything else is just window dressing. This lovely piece gave is much to ponder.

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
If only we could all just love ourselves a little bit more. I sometimes think we get so caught in things we forget how amazing we are and how we take ourselves for granted. Hmmm I wonder if the older me is in the mirror I look into and what she looks like and has to say.

:). I believe that if you can?t love yourself, how can you possibly love anyone else! Loving others comes from your own loving spirit! So happy you enjoyed! xoxo

"Reflection in Time"
This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
...
It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...
When I looked at your picture and then read the words.
I think when it comes to women...
Can the aging process be slowed?
There are skin enhancing creams.
There's dye to cover our Gray.
But Unfortunately, these are only temporary Band-Aids.
...
If you ever look at a person, especially a male who's well advanced in age...
You'll notice that sometimes the eyes are crestfallen, the fingernails are different looking thick,
There will be very little hair left and teeth.
And quite possibly the facilities.
...
The ears have a long enlongnated, it will be here coming out from the nose and the ears.
The person's thoughts will be slower indoor need to use a restroom facilities more often.
...
Complete Synopsis:
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks and have a Blessed Weekend!

Many changes happen to women and don?t believe all they say about creams. Anything for companies to make a buck. Yeah there?s hair dye, but the expense of salons is outrageous and do-it-yourself products don?t turn out like they say! So I guess we all still change together.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Such a wonderful poem When we are young we never think what we'll be like when we get older. Sometimes we have to remember our past to see what the future hold for us.

Thanks, my on-a-roll winning friend! Haha! I was going to do reverse but this photo captured me, and so I did it looking out instead it looking in! I?m glad you could relate! xoxo
Comment from Susan X Smith
This is an intriguing concept and the picture you chose complements it perfectly. The poem describes an old woman reaching out to her former self. I enjoyed reading it.
