The years have not always been kind
A romantic soul with the blues written too often
Upon the telltale lines of an otherwise youthful face.
The looking glass has reflected crushed dreams
Love lost and a heart broken many times
In the years gone past
Though seemingly just a wisp of a girl, gentle and kind
If one were to look closely enough
Inner strength and courage would be revealed
Abused, deceived and broken in the past perhaps
The light of hope is not lost to her, though occasionally dim...
A spark of stubborn defiance dares love to try again
Happy surprise lights her eyes as a pair, brown and filled with love, gaze down upon her,
In the reflection of her looking glass....
