I found myself looking in the mirror again,
I wanted so much to admire who I saw there
So I started looking for reasons to

I knew I had to be honest with him
He was looking right at me after all
So I had to be fair in my comparisons
Of good and bad things that made up my life

I counted them off, the good and the bad
I have to admit I wasn’t pleased with the results
I guess it could have been worse though

I made the resolution then
To do more good things in my life
Change, after all
Doesn’t have to be a slow, painful process
All it takes is the initial decision
And a little courage…
A thing not easy to come by

But possible

I promised to come back to that mirror
After some time
And check with that guy again
Hoping my results would be a little bit better
When I checked within myself
And looked at who I had become

And I kept finding myself thinking
Have you looked in the mirror lately?
I mean really looked?  
Did you admire who you saw there?
Because it’s never too late
To change…
