The Looking Glass
The mirror tells us many things
You smile as you see your past
It reminds us of our hopes and dreams
That somehow never lasts
It sees our imperfections
That we're always trying to hide
It even sees our inner fears
That are hidden deep inside
The mirror's reflection never lies
It shows us who we are
We see the one we used to be
And the one who's come so far
It's eyes are always watching us
As we try to return it's stare
No matter where you go in life
It will always meet you there
Sometimes, it's our sounding board
For the things we need to say
It never makes suggestions
So, you'll always get you way
It will even watch us walk away
Knowing we'll soon return
For by looking in the mirror
There's so much we can learn
