Have you ever stood looking at yourself in a mirror wondering what your life has been all about? I have found myself doing that at times for no particular reason.
​
Maybe it's whenever I hear the song "What's it all about Alfie" which sort of rings a bell and makes me think about my life.
Or it may simply be that I wonder what I will have left behind me for people to remember me by.

LIFE'S REFLECTIONS
​
I stand gazing in the mirror
at the reflection of my face
And wonder why I often feel
that I am simply out of place
No matter where I've wandered
through out my many years
I've never sound that safe harbour
that would shield me from my fears
That elusive something I have searched
for that I have never found
That unattainable something that
could have turned my life around
Why was there always something missing
I ask the face within the glass
If found would my life now have been
so different or continued like my past
Maybe deep inside I have longed for
the child that was denied to me
But could it really be that simple
was my need just my own family
I've stood here many times and
it has always been the same
I can find no answer to my questions
nor find anyone to blame
Why can a life so full of things to do
and filled with many friends
At times leave one still feeling lonely
when the day comes to an end.
