[ Sometimes When You Look In The Mirror You Feel Like You See
An Imposter ]
[ You Look In Your Phone ]
[ But Don’t See His Name On Your Roster ]
[ Who Is This Much Older Man That You See? ]
[ Why Is He Here? ]
[ In Your Mirror? ]
[ You Don’t Know Who The Man Could Be ]
[ He Kind Of Looks Familiar ]
[ He Is Much Older ]
[ & Looks Kind Of Peculiar ]
[ He Is Kind Of Slumped Over, So He Is Shorter Than You ]
[ Your Favorite Color Is Pink ]
[ But This Guy Looks Good In Blue ]
[ His Face Is Unshaven ]
[ & His Hair Is Uneven ]
[ There Is No Sparkle In His Eyes ]
[ The Wrinkles In His Forehead ]
[ Say That He Has Been Told Alot Of Lies ]
[ But There Is Something About This Man That You Can Trust ]
[ When He Gives His Word, He Means It ]
[ & He Can Easily Adjust ]
[ To Any Problems ]
[ That Are Thrown @ Him ]
[ But This Man Looks Tired Beyond His Age ]
[ If He Ever Chose To Write His Autobiography ]
[ It Would Be Page After Page ]
[ Of Deep Thoughts ]
[ About Being In Tight Spots ]
[ He Would Be The Type Of Guy Who Could Sit & Drink A Coke ]
[ He Does Not Drink Coffee & Has Never Smoked ]
[ He Seems Like A Soft Spoken Man, Who Carries A Big Stick ]
[ He Stands By His Friends ]
[ Even When The Air Gets Thick ]
[ He Is Always There To Give You A Poke ]
[ With A Funny Joke ]
[ His Features Soften In Time ]
[ You Wonder What This Man Looked Like In His Prime ]
[ His Eyes Seem Like They Are In A Faraway Gaze ]
[ As They Are Trying To Adjust To The Haze ]
[ Then Your Alarm Goes Off & You Jump Out Of Your Bed ]
[ You Run To Look In The Mirror ]
[ & You Can See That Man Was You, Many Years Ahead ]
