Accept What Your
Mirror Reveals
To destroy a happy life
Lust often causes heartbreak
Loss of a husband or wife.
Surrendering to temptations
Can be resisted if you'll try
But if you're weak and give in
Sometimes you'll regret it until you die.
Eventually as you grow older
Age wrinkles will begin to appear
Accept what your mirror reveals
Of you and the one you hold dear.
Growing older can be beautiful
If you'll accept what you see
But if you succumb to temptations
You'll be engulfed in a life of misery.
