When I look at you in the mirror
I see a woman, a young woman
with a soul that has lived many lives, and many more to go
She has the body of fighter
One who always gets back up
The gray strands prove you learn from
your mistakes, and you carry on
Less worried about how others see you through your looking glass
When I look at you in the mirror,
I envision everything you want for yourself
You will always have something in your hand
Whether it’s is a notebook and pen, a pocketbook
Your camera and a ring-light,
The car key and a doggie,
You are abundant.
You give and receive.
You put the work in, even if you don’t realize it
When I look at you in the mirror,
I want to tell you
you do not have to push yourself
Rather take a rest to get back to center
There, you can focus and enter
Back into your groove
Your rhythm, It doesn’t have to be smooth
If you just let whatever emotions and pain you feel move through you
Giving you a reason to heal,
To hope through the mope
When I look at you in the mirror
I see all your ancestors on your face
and their strength helping you into a better place
I see your angels protecting you with their feathers and wings
I see your spirit guides holding keys and torches
I see your lost loved ones by your side
and you look into the mirror and
You see me
Hi, I am yourSelf.
