                        Looking in the mirror
                        What do I see?
                        Who is this woman, staring back at me?
                        The features, the same as always.
                        The eyes, windows to her soul.
                        They tell a tale
                        A tale of life; lessons learned
                        Each one left its mark for good or for bad

                        She thought she was strong, could handle it all
                        She learned that was wrong

                        Looking into the mirror deep into her eyes
                        This woman she sees
                        Her soul never died as much as she hoped it would
                        Still it lives

                        She realized her wrong
                        She swallowed her pride
                        To him she went confessing her crime
                        Hoping for forgiveness another chance
                        Cursing the pride, that would not let her ask
                        The love the two share broke through the haze
                        Bathing her soul with it's warming rays
                        She learned she is human, not perfect
                        but she has honor
                        and now
                        a purpose
