Mirror ! Mirror !

Mirror ! Mirror !

Mirror , mirror on the wall 
Why does life seem so small .
Your eyes appear as they always do ,
Looking so tired surrounded by blue .
We share the same hair color and style ,
With a devilish grin and silly smile .
Oh sacred sage upon I look,
The answers I seek come not from a book.
For what I ask comes from the heart ,
The answer coming before I start .
So, here I look as I always do,
Every morning I share just with you .
For as I start to brush my hair ,
I place my future in your care .
Though you just look into my eyes ,
You tell me the truth and not lies .
Although your voice I do not hear ,
Your always there from year to year.
While magic or wishes can not be ,
I know you will always be here for me .
