I Looked At Myself

I looked at myself In the mirror today Saddened by the shadows That refused to go away. I saw my red hair In a wicked disarray And I couldn’t help wonder How I got this way. Then the door opened And my son walked in He looked at me Then started to grin. The greatest treasure You cannot win It’s a blessed miracle Your heart will spin. "You’re pretty mom" He said to me Then gave me a hug As tight as can be. It was then I knew I held the key To a valuable treasure That numbered three. Then suddenly he turned And walked away Leaving behind A warm sunny day. I looked at myself In the mirror today And I saw an angel Smile my way. I have three beautiful children, Missy 18, Mariah 16, and Danny 10; Both the oldest and the youngest have......ADHD and hence have matured at a slower rate. But all three are the greatest gifts I have ever received and I love them with all my heart and soul. Each one has special qualities that individualize them and make them a treasure to behold! I am proud of all three of them; and I hope they know just how much they mean to me and how much they inspire me! I love you gang!!!
