AnHour With You~*~The Man In The Mirror~*~

Artwork of Tom Sierak

I'm tempted to stare,
As I comb the thinning hair,
Of the man in the mirror.
What seems to be so out of place,
Are the lines in the face,
Of the man in the mirror!
boat
His face is no longer thin,
And there's a double chin,
On the man in the mirror!
Ah, it's getting easier for folks to tell,
He can't hear so well,
The man in the mirror!
boat
And even worse yet,
He's so prone to forget,
The man in the mirror!
It's becoming increasingly hard to see,
The resemblance between me,
And the man in the mirror!
boat
Oh, how I would like to deny,
I even know that guy,
The man in the mirror!
You see, I know I'm growing old,
But, I don't like to be told,
By the man in the mirror!
boat
But even though I pretend,
The aging process won't end,
For the man in the mirror!
The truth is impossible to hide,
I know deep down inside,
I'm the man in the mirror!
boat
So, I know what I must do,
In order to be true,
To the man in the mirror!
I'll live each day by God's Holy Book,
So I won't have to be ashamed to look,
At the man in the mirror.
