A Kiss From A Rose

I looked in the mirror yesterday, where have all the years gone? When did I get so old and dry? Where have all my dreams gone? Where did the young girl with the smile go? When did these lines find my face? Where is the twinkle that was in my eye? Is that something you can misplace?

I was going to go to college, I ended up married instead. Soon after I became a mother, My secret desires I hid. The face that stared at me was aging, The skin not pretty and young. When did all of this happen? I feel my life's just begun.

My children are older, they don't need me. At least not like in days gone by. Maybe it's time to do something for me. Maybe I'll try to fly. The mirror doesn't lie to us, It doesn't spare our feelings. But that doesn't mean that things can't change, if we will just be willing.

I'll work real hard to reach my dreams. I'll see things through to the end. And the next time I look in the mirror, Maybe I'll find a friend.
