I can see her now, staring back.

What she thinks of me

I'd rather not know.

     Too often, I have let her down.

     One outgrows the other. Wanders off, lost.

She is my guide.

Forgives me everytime.

Takes my hand again, all smiles.

Thanks HarryC. I'll try not to!

Doesn't look like a problem to me.  Succinct, poignant, and it brings a smile of recognition - perfect!

A lovely reminder of who we were - and are.  Lovely picture too.

I think my younger self would probably be appalled at me, but I'd try to reassure her with that George Eliot quote:  It is never too late to be what you might have been.
