She looks in the mirror
Memories reflected in her eyes
Yesterdays of joy and pain
Dreams not yet realized

Peering closer in the mirror
She sees a line upon her face
She smoothes with her fingertips
What time cannot erase

She's known the laughter of a child
She's known a mother's love
Sometimes she's known despair
And prayed for answers from above

She's know the magic of true love
And the pain of saying goodbye
Both have touched her heart
And both have made her wonder why

Her lips are often curved in a smile
There's often laughter in her eyes
Though sometimes it all comes crowding in
And she bows her head and cries

She steps back from the mirror
Her hand falls from her face
She smiles as she relives the memories
That brought her to this place...
