In the Mirror

I’m standing in front of the mirror

Staring at this face looking back at me

I don’t recognise this person who’s there

I’m not sure who it is she wants me to be.

 

Is it a mother, this beautiful face?

Doing the best she can for her children’s sake

Ignoring the judgement thrown her way

A loving environment for them she’ll make.

 

Is it a lover, this faithful face?

Standing by her man doing whatever it takes

To love and support him everyday

Ensuring their relationship never breaks.

 

Is it a daughter, this innocent face?

Living up to the morals that she was raised

Building a life full of love and eternal grace

Wanting her parents to be forever amazed.

 

I’m standing in front of this mirror

Staring at this incredible woman I see

This woman who is all these wonderful things

This woman who is everything a woman can be.

I'm a mum to 3 lovely boys who can drive me crazy at times and a pet dog who listens to me more than anyone else in my house! Very happily married and generally settled in life. Love to laugh. Love to write! Love to read! Love to dream...
