When I Look in The Mirror
 

 
When I look in the mirror
there is such a beauty i see
i see a young lady, yet still a little girl
looking back at me

so many changes i am experiencing
so many tears that have fell
when i look into the mirror
such secrets to myslef i tell

this little girl she shares my smile
as she looks at the lady i've become
same eyes and same lips
from the same fears we both run

she wonders why i am taller then the other girls
why does my heart feel this way
while they all play with their dolls and toys
i have changed in such an amazing way

so much i do know, yet so much more to discover
as i grow in this wonderful world
i will miss my childhood, all those kiddie treats
most of being mommy's little poetic girl.
