Looking Glass Man

In the mirror

What I see

Is someone who’s a bit like me

Slightly older

Not as fit

And he’s getting on a bit

Still quite handsome

With a smile

That could light a golden mile

Sparkle eyes

A knowing look

Wisdom like an open book

He nods at me

As I pass by

With a twinkle in his eye

Suggesting all

Will be alright

As I pass and say goodnight.
