Brush

As the mother brushed
Her son's bushy and thick hair
She looked in the mirror

She looked in the mirror
And saw what time did to her
As she grew older.

Written for Haiku Horizons: "brush"

    Ah, yes, time. Time is often brutal with us, is it not?

    It feels as if as children grow they take the youth of parents...
