Mirror On the Wall

Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall Do you like what you see when You look at my inquisitive face? Sometimes I like what I see though Sometimes it’s a scared face Worried about my worst fears. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall I hope you like my clear beautiful eyes And clear stern face full of life Because I love your clear picture that Says it all to me whenever I look at you Everything that I read that I am looks at me And in that moment it’s true that I am what I read because I see an intelligent face I am what I eat because I see healthy eyes Sparkling through to my soul I see the picture so clearly it stuns me. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall You and I are closer than friends Closer than sisters or brothers We are indeed closer than lovers As a man and his wife are meant to be together, forever I could not begin the day without your Careful attention and help. I could not put one foot in front of the other Without your clear decision to let me go Because you are more than a reflection for me You are a careful friend for me to lean on Who never lies to my eyes because My eyes stare through you and see The truth of who I am. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall If I could sing you a song its this one I sing If I could love you more than this I would. Crashing glass almost looks beautiful Because it reminds me of you If I could look at you and see all the thoughts of men All I would ever need would be you If only I could because you are so perfect. Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall Do you hear my heart pumping So softly in my body? Do you feel the excitement am going Through as I look at you right now? Do you feel my self esteem as it goes up and down Wondering if I am perfect? Do you? Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall? Could you for one moment forget you are An object and talk to me? Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall You who never dies, could live then to see My great great great great greater grand children And even see more days than I have seen Could you have wished to be me for one day? If you did, I would feel more perfect Seeing through you, I see life in its perfection And truth un altered Undestroyed or tampered with.
