The Mirror

by Gail Clark

Looking into the mirror
I see something different.

A twinkle in my eye
A smile on my face
A glow to my cheek.

The peace and calm and quiet
That I have been asking and praying for
Is seeping into my inner self.

Where I once felt so weak
I now feel much stronger.

This is not a physcial strength
It is an inner strength
I have not felt or known before.

This calm and peace
Is constant
And continues to strengthen me.
