MIRROR OF TRUTH

2008-05-02T02:01:38Z

The mirror of truth, showed more than my reflection today
It spoke the reflections of time. Not just the hairs of grey,

But the reality
of how old I came to be.

How much slower I walk. Sometimes with a cane
to ease the aches of pain.

How my eyesight and memory
are failing me.

It showed my aging hands and face

REMEMBER

2008-05-02T01:56:38Z

We must remember, time is never on our side.
We must remember, the ones who have tried
many have died.

We must remember, long after each of us are gone,
time continues on.

We must remember, my friend
God controls time, to the very end.

We must remember.
