i'm lookin' at the (wo)man in the mirror


Wow.
You know it's going to be
a different kind of day when you look
in the bathroom mirror
and your mother
is looking back
at you.
The odd thing is this:
I always wanted to look like Mama.
I always thought she was the prettiest woman I knew.
I still think she is.
And there she was in the mirror this morning.

Perhaps she was wishing me "happy birthday"...
Perhaps she was reminding me that I am still her girl...
Perhaps she was letting me know she is always there for me.


I choose to believe all three.
