she realised the truth

 It was a long time before she realised the truth

By Sis Unsworth 

Jill had bought a mirror and placed it in the hall,

as time went by she realised, she wasn’t sure at all.

So she moved it to another place, but didn’t like it there,

she thought it might look better, closer to the stair.

Yet still she felt dissatisfied, something was still wrong,

she must find another place, while she was feeling strong.

Jill tried it in the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom too,

she couldn’t solve the mystery, she didn’t have a clue.

It was a long time, before she realised the truth.

Wherever she hung the mirror, it revealed her fading youth.
