Ah, Beauteous Reflection

How could we be more perfect? We often self-proclaim. While others' flaws are obvious There's none that we can claim.   How did we get to be so grand, So perfect in each way... The hair, the clothes, those eyes, that nose What style, such  gait, that sway!   We tout our every moment In  flaunt of each our moves There's all that's right in what we speak Our goals, our plans, our views...   We can't explain the thrill it brings When loud, we 'laud in cheer And chant that we're the greatest thing Since cheese, sliced bread or beer!   In looking past the mirror's gaze We smile in pleasing fuss, And can't imagine t'would be like To never NOT be us!   Ah, beauteous reflection See thee, thru echo's touch The only flaw that we might have... We love ourselves too much!
