Looking Into a Mirror

Looking into a mirror, a beautiful lady's face stares, and smiles
Back at one who reflects about her place in society, about finding
That secret spiritual place within herself.
For a moment the clock stills, her smile turns upside down.
When she was being formed in her mother's womb she was safe.
Born into a wonderful world of surrounding love, an unseen
Visitor soon made himself known.
Fear, along with his loyal companions, Insecurity, Abandonment, 
Doubt, make it their life's work to prey on those weaknesses in
Spirit that we have left unguarded.
Growing evermore into an inner peace as time moves on, this
Woman is now not always that young woman, because she knows
And becomes aware of that with each passing day that her life is a
Special gift.
Now the lady gazing into the mirror smiles once again.
Her mind pushes the unwelcome visitors even further into
Healing, a final vortex of conquering faith.
