Who Is That?

Looking at her beautiful face
So soft and full of such grace

Glancing through her eyes, deep into her brain.
Just enough to see she is only half sane.

Seeing her lips, one bigger than the other.
She doesn't care, because it reminds her of her mother.

Checking out her nose, there is a bump in the middle.
Loving it because she has had it since she was little.

Reading the fierceness in her brilliant eyes.
I would know her, even if she was in disguise.

Feeling her personality when she walks into a room.
Leaking all the beauty like a young rose at bloom.

Wait, I think I know the person looking at me.
I am so very happy, I am so full of glee.

It is very hard to see her.
Wait, its me thats in the mirror.

Truly the sign of inner confidence. what in the past may have been viewed as a flaw (you lip observation) is now a sense of character and uniqueness. I myself am a spot on replica of my father when he was in his mid twenties. It's a surreal experience seeing old photos of him. Thanks for writing this. Brought back some memories in me. -Yoni
