Beautiful woman
In the mirror
You are the fairest of them all
More fairy than tales
Long
And tall
The truth you seek
Can be found without reflection
Someone paid extra care
In designing your cover
The silk fabric of your skin
Was created only to showcase
The beauty within
Like decorative boxes
Housing diamond rings
Open up
And give the world
The gift
It's been waiting for
Ask the mirror no more
As much as it reflects on life
Only you
Have the power to live it
