The face in the mrror
Logasperi Chetty 1969 (Durban)
A reflection in the mirror, flashes of the generation.
Looking behind, a face so familiar
time captures an unwavering pillar
a face so loved, wrinkled with age
a beauty not lost but carried with grace
Looking at now, a face so familiar
time has claimed it as mine
a face equally loved, stilled with age
a beauty soon to be replaced
looking beyond, a face so familiar
time has started on its journey
a face so loved, innocent with age
a beauty to one day be unveiled
