You Are Not Gone I See You In the Mirror In My Reflection
Some 46 years ago my mother died
And she is not here
But yet when I look in the mirror
I see a reflection of her so dear
My mother's here
Some 35 years ago
My father died and he is not here now
But yet when I look in the mirror
I see him there, here
And as I look upon my younger daughter
I see my mother
And as I look upon my only son
I see my father
And if I see my oldest daughter
I see myself
And when the wind blows when I'm standing outside it touches me andaz the wind blows these are the generations of my forefathers my people strong
So even though I can't see you so
And even though you're physically not here
Every time I passed the window pane every time I view a mirror
I see you inside of me
