My Father Watches Over Me

I get out of bed slowly
Run to the mirror and see,
A much brighter picture now
Im happy and beautiful as can be.

I continue to just stand there
At this new person I stare,
Wondering just what is going on
For yesterday it was me there.

Getting dressed I hum along
Im really enjoying this day,
Hopeing this is real no dream
I think I can enjoy living this way.

With the pain and sorrow gone
Life now so great I can see,
Its always been this way
For my father watches over me.
