As I peer into the mirror, what is it I see?
A beautiful face staring back at me.
Though the image is different than that of my own
There are a few resemblances that are clearly shown.
You are there, it is you that I see,
That beautiful face that stares back at me.
Reflections of a love so true,
The bond that was shared between me and you.
The things that you taught me, the love that you hold,
Are the reasons why I am so strong and so bold.
You gave to me wings and allowed me to soar,
You gave to me, life, and I owe you much more.
Cherish your "MOTHER" and the love that she gives,
For a reflection of life, oh, how precious it is.
From this day forward in the mirror there will be,
Reflections of my mother staring back at me.

That beautiful face that stares back at me.
Reflections of a love so true,
The bond that was shared between me and you.
The things that you taught me, the love that you hold,

You gave to me wings and allowed me to soar,
You gave to me, life, and I owe you much more.
Cherish your "MOTHER" and the love that she gives,
For a reflection of life, oh, how precious it is.
From this day forward in the mirror there will be,
Reflections of my mother staring back at me.
