Reflection of Time

Lookin' in that mirror, face worn and wise

Time's etched every line, told no lies

Scars from battles, the stories they tell

That hardened stare, you wear it so well

But inside there's a flicker, a gentle flame

A kindness so deep, no shame, no blame

Smile still haunting, a quiet grace

Keep it alive, it's your safe space

Hold on to that smile, don’t let it fade

It's the shield you've built, the mark you've made

Your hands, your guides in this lonely place

Moving forward, with strength and grace

Refused the quick route, took the long way home

Forged in darkness, yet you’ve grown

A fire in your mind, burning true

From the evil past, you've broken through

That look in your eyes, it commands respect

But love runs deep, and I won't forget

The kindness that’s boundless, pure and bright

A beacon shining through the night

Hold on to that smile, don’t let it fade

It's the shield you've built, the mark you've made

Your hands, your guides in this lonely place

Moving forward, with strength and grace

Every scar a story, every wrinkle a win

In this world so cold, you still let love in

Keep the fire alive, let your spirit rise

Paint the world with your wise eyes

So look in that mirror, see the truth

A soul unbreakable, living proof

Only your smile stands before you now

Keep it strong, just don't let it go
