I see in her eyes a reflection of my life, our life intertwined.
We are so much a part of each other...
Please don't feel the pain I felt... I feel.
We are mirrors facing each other, the depth is immeasurable.
Which way to turn? If one shatters, does the other shatter too?
I will face you with strength so that my reflection will give you the power to be wise, aware, and beautiful. Your spirit will be full of love and hope - and through your reflection back at me...
I will healed.
I wrote this when my daughter was very young, while struggling as a single parent. Experiencing trials and tribulations as a young mother afraid that my pain would pass from me to her.
