The Transformation

That was the first time I evr saw him,

A young, small, scared face,

A pair of quivering hands----

Highly skilled, not proven though,

He worked more and spoke less

----trying to put in his best

And he took his time to do his job!

It was boring, nevertheless

When I saw myself at the mirror,

Got mighty pleased;

To make a not-so-good-looking face

Appear as if endowed with grace----

It is never easy……… It never is!!!


Saw him again ----

Might have been a year or so!

A lot different this time though,

Grown to the ways of the world---this guy

Bore a taller figure, a ripe face!

The shakyness was gone, so was the awe,

He spoke more and worked less,

Never got me bored,

Not a long wait this time,

Soon he was done with-----

And I looked at the mirror

That reflected an ordinary face!!
