If I Fell into a Mirror

If I fell into a mirror
and saw what others see
would I understand the mysteries
deep inside of me
Would it take away the sadness
Would it open up my eyes
If I fell into a mirror
would I ask why
If I fell into a mirror
and saw my mother's face
would I understand her love for me
That time just can't erase
Would I step away from anger
Would I find humility
If I fell into a mirror
Who would I be
If I fell into a mirror
and saw my children's eyes
would I hope they really understood
how much I truly tried
To protect them from the hurricanes
Yet run where rainbows grow
If I fell into a mirror
what would I know

Author Notes
When my Mother died I thought I was ready for it. I know she was. But the sadness that filled me afterwards was so hard to explain. I look just like her. I also want my children to play in the rain with out getting hurt. Thank you for listening.
