Time is a magician


Osmosis

"Hi Mom", I said. "I see you need your hair done
Your gray roots are starting to show."
"Oh dear, what's this, you've got another age spot
You must stay out of the sun these days, you know."
I thought her neck and cheeks are certainly sagging
And what wonders a face lift would do
"Oh no," I said to the face that looked back at me
"When did this mirror turn me into you?"
