Mirror Never Lies

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ 
A mirror never lies
It always looks you right back in the eye
And justly shows you what you really are

A mirror never lies
Whatever you put in front of it is what it reflects
Always precise in every respect to that reality that it reflects

Imagination is the mirror of life
In it you can and will see 
...only that which in your mind exists

If this truth has already been revealed to me
Why else would I wish to be anything other than the best I can be?
Why would I not dare to believe in all my greatest dreams?

Yesterday is proof enough 
...that tomorrow can be 
...for today is just a product of dreams
