The World Through My Eyes

When I look at the mirror There is a reflection steering back at me A shadow that looks very much like me I see a frown a woman without a gown A life of strife a woman who avoid the knife I still cannot believe that woman was me. Woman of sorrow a woman unable to borrow Yet God gave me tomorrow He showed me the way He taught me how to obey He has given me another day to find a way, To repay for all the deeds that led me astray I thank the Lord for showing me how to pray.
