When I looked in the mirror, I didn't expect to see an old woman looking back at me.

When did this happen? Where is the pretty young girl I used to be?

There are lines on my face, and gray in my hair.

My skin sags and bags everywhere.

I used to have full rosy cheeks and shining eyes,

Now I look like my granny...and it's not a disguise!

This face looks so ancient and rundown.

I look in the mirror and I have to frown.

Then I think of the life that I've led and have to smile,

This old wrinkled face has been worth every mile.
