I look into the mirror
And do you know what I see?
I see a sad 16-year old girl
Staring back at me
She knows the troubles of life
And pain - well she's had her fair share
She knows what its like to feel alone
Troubled and in despair
She tries to be optimistic
Like everyone says she should be
"But how can I?" she asks
"When dark clouds are all I see"
Then one day she realized
Through those clouds a light broke through
And as she looked up through tear-filled eyes
She saw little bright specks of blue
She felt an arm on her shoulder and heard a powerful voice
"This struggle is all a test," God said
"Just work on being you
And hold up high your head."
So she wiped up her tears and looked at the sky
Said "Thank you God" and walked away
Went home, hugged her mom and dad
Went to bed, woke up the next morning with a smile, and said "Hello new day!"
From that day on
She was grateful for every day she had
And because life is too short
She focused on the good instead of the bad
I look into the mirror
And do you know what I see?
I see one of God's angels
Smiling back at me
