Mirror Image

On my bathroom trek when I awoke,
(I promise you this is no joke),
there in the glass I chanced to see
my mother looking back at me!


The older I get, the more of my mother I see in me. And I’m okay with that. 🙂

  1. I happened across your blog today while googling the definition of a crown cinquain. And I’m so happy I did!
    By the way, I can definitely relate about seeing your mother while looking in the mirror. 😊
