Mirror
A lady pauses briefly
As her eyes well up with tears
She thinks she's lost her beauty
To the hardships and the years
She remembers all the good times
When she was just a girl
And kept her cowboy smiling
With her laughing eyes and curls.
Now her face is showing wrinkles
And her hair is turning grey
Wonder where that young girl went
She was here just yesterday
Then her cowboy steps beside her
Puts his arms around her waist
Turns her ever gently
Brushes teardrops from her face
There's something I must tell you
As I've held you through the years
Let me tell you what I see
For I will be your mirror
I can see the blue skies
Where other skies are gray
And I see children laughing
In the meadows where they play
I can see the Cattle grazing
Just below the rise
And I can see a rainbow
From the twinkle in your eyes
I can see the Sweet grass
Swaying gently in the breeze
And I can see the sunrise
Through the golden Aspen trees.
I can see your heartbeat
Where Eagles cast their spell
And I can see your sweet Love
As deep as any well.
So when you stop to ponder
On reflections you hold dear
Just remember Darling
I will be your mirror.
