The Reflection

I stare in the mirror, my tears fall in vain Can’t see my reflection through the veil of this pain. Who is this person I struggle to see? I don’t want to judge her but it’s surely not me. This stranger I cast looks so tired and weak, I wish I could help her but I’m frightened to speak. Cause it’s dark and lonely in this shell where I’m bound Where once there was laughter, is now void of sound. and the beauty I knew in just yesterday’s time, seems gone in an an instant with life’s rythym and rhyme….. Then GOD he spoke child…What do you mean? You’re more beautiful than anything that I’ve ever seen! The reflection you cast it don’t matter to me, What matters is that you can see what I see. That your spirit is filled with a breath that is true. And a beauty so deep that this world can’t undo. I know that your journey seems to heavy to bear. But I’ve given you family that love and who care. So hold on tight through the dips and the turns, For the ones who believe are the precious who learns. And wether your journey is to stay here or go, Please know I love you so much more than you know. I wish I could tell you the beauty that awaits… But you will know only, when you see heavens gates.

Hi Sheri, Thank You, I started writing it when my wife was in her cancer journey and she made a comment on how she looked. I completed it after she passed away. I know now she is beautiful and whole once again.
