the me I see
when I look
in the mirror
is as happy as can be
eyes & smile shining
the Way
they did when
I was a baby
belly full from laughter
playing with my food
& smacking my lips
after a good meal
making good deals
with my friends
so that everybody wins
in the end having fun
the me I see
when I look in the mirror
is the Sun shining bright
even when there might be
storm clouds in sight
I look myself in the mirror
& remember
I never have to fight
in order to share my light.
