In the mirror of time, I see a face unknown,
A future self, with wisdom fully grown.
Eyes that sparkle with dreams fulfilled,
A heart that beats with love distilled.

Paths once tangled, now clear and bright,
A journey long, through day and night.
Lessons learned from joy and strife,
Carve the essence of this future life.

Hands that build and minds that soar,
A legacy of those who came before.
Echoes of laughter, whispers of pain,
All are threads in life’s complex chain.

To my future self, I send this plea,
Embrace the person you’ve yet to be.
For in the mirror, I see the truth,
The future self is born from youth.
