Age Spot
Categories: Small Town Soap Box
By: Linda Ellis
I am on my way to fifty;
is is a fact, I do not hide.
And what's happening to my appearance,
I've been taking well in-stride.
But recently I gazed into my mirror
and upon closer inspection,
I found there was a darkened circle
on the face of my reflection!
I've learned age spots are common;
my luck the first one to appear...
lies directly between the space
above my left and my right ear!
I do not celebrate Ash Wednesday...
nor am I of Indian descent
so what might this spot upon my forehead
to others, represent?
It won't be concealed with powder
nor will I hide behind foundation
I don't dispute it has validity;
I just don't care for its location!
Sometimes, I get the sense
there's a third-eye staring back at me
and if I turn to look from side to side,
my forehead has it's own marquee!
Watching my body's transformation,
I know I'm powerless, year to year
and I cannot help but wonder
where my next age spot will appear?
