Life's Mirror
by Marie Williams © 2002




Walking past the mirror
A woman stopped to look,
And what she saw while there
She wrote down in a book.

She stood up straight and tall
Turned from side to side,
She stepped a little closer
Thinking, some things you can't hide.



She tucked the book away
With housework yet to do,
Hoping she'd get back to it
In an hour, or two.

The time had come and gone
Weeks changed into years,
The book collected dust
'Til her first grandchild appeared.



She found the book while playing
Then opened it to read,
And much to her surprise
These words set her free.

Now if you are thinking
I too would like to know,
Just what that book had in it
To you I'll gladly show.



Reflections of Life's Mirrors
Aren't measured from this glass,
For glass can be deceiving
Outward beauty soon shall pass.

Your beauty is within you
If God's love is in your heart,
Reflecting light to all the world
What joy it does impart.
