Who can she be?

she sits here looking in the mirror trying to recognize the image gazing back. who can she be? she was once full of life wearing a beautiful smile while combing her long tresses. but now crippled hands  keep her from being able to lift her brush. she's an old woman and nature has been cruel, a body all withered and wrinkled and filled with pain. it wasn't that long ago she was frolicking in the fresh cut grass of her youth, finding her true love that would last forever. and taking on her biggest challenge, the role of motherhood. she is all alone now, alone and forgotten as she sits here looking in the mirror trying to recognize the image gazing back. who can she be?
