Reflections
Shining up at me
Rippling in the water
Talking back to me
I stop and take a longer glance
What I see looks just like me
Yet I'm not sure that its me I really see
This reflection is the perfect opportunity for me to think about my life
I stop...I sit...I stare at it...I contemplate so much
My thoughts are running freely now
Some of them are good and others not quite so
But when I stitch them all together they create the canvas called my life
I realize now that each experience was necessary for me to be the person
that I am
If even one of life's adventures were removed from my past who knows what
I might have been
Throughout the trials I may have screamed, I may have shouted and often even cried
Yet, I wouldn't change a single one because those trials turned me into the woman that I am
The wind begins to blow and the water slowly ripples
I stare upon the surface and watch my reflection begin to shift
A thought begins to form in my mind that causes me to smile
Each ripple that I see in front of me is a reminder that each of lifes adventures
cause me to change and grow
A little here - a little there - but better every time
Reflections
Shining up at me
Rippling in the water
Talking back to me
