When I looked in the mirror
this morning I saw
my Mother's face
starring
back at me
I was floored!

I loved my Mother
that part is true
but look like her?
Never
i look more like my Dad

Maybe it was
my imagination
playing tricks
on me
but the lady in the mirror
looked nothing
like me

Maybe I'm just getting
older
Maybe I think too much
about her
but the lady in the mirror
looked looked nothing like me

It was my Mother's face
that I saw
my Mother's face
not mine or my Dad's

If she were
alive
I would tell her
and she'd laugh
she'd tell me
I should have
gone straight
back to bed!

But it got me thinking
of just how much
I miss her
because I loved her so

That would make her happy
(I think)
to know
that I loved her
much more than
she ever knew!
