Today, I looked in the mirror;

Curious as to what I would see.

I expected to see my reflection

Staring back at me.

But as I looked, I saw something more

In the face that was there.

I saw the reflection of my mother;

A woman filled with care.

Each year is another year closer

To looking like my Mother.

I see her in my reflection,

In one way or another.

May I not only look like her

But reflect her heart as well.

For it's full of love and kindness;

God's goodness in a nutshell.

Another year closer to looking like mom,

That only makes me glad.

For I love my beautiful Mother.

She's the best reflection I've had.
