For those of us in search of our inner child.

THE MIRROR

By: Soleil

I looked into the mirror                                                                                                  

But who did I see?

A wee little girl,

Who looked something like me.

Where did you come from?

How could this be?

Who is this child,

I see before me?

I looked into her eyes,

To see what I could see.

Who is this child

Staring back out at me?

Her eyes were as empty,

As empty could be.

Why my dear child

Are you staring out at me?

I've seen you before.

But how could this be?

You are the child,

Who once lived in me.

Why are you here?

What do you need from me?

Tell me my child.

Let me see what you see.

She stood there as silent,

As silent could be.

Her eyes opened wider,

As they beckoned to me.

Look inside deeper

Too see what I see.

I once lived inside you,

As playful could be.

We were always together

Both you and me.

Why my dear friend

Did you abandon me?

You buried me deep,

For no one to see.

What happened to you,

Happened to me.

I need you my friend.

I need all to see.

We weren't to blame

Neither you, nor me.

Now, here we both are

For the whole world to see.

Together we're strong,

As strong as can be.

Take my hand.

Reach out to me.

I need you now,

And you need me.

I reached out to her.

She reached out to me.

When our hands met,

She awakened in me.

Her tears filled my eyes,

Together, we could be,

On our life's journey,

As whole as can be.

Now this little girl,

The whole world will see,

How special she is

As I can now see.

This wee little girl,

Who stands before me,

Is someone so special

It's me that I see.
