The colors of Life

Today will be a nice day, I tell myself
Today is a nice day, I believe
I saw the mirror yesterday
And did not recognize myself
But today its different...
I see...myself!

The mirror is a funny thing you see,
It always lies
But today I see the Truth- Les couleurs de la vie! (colors of life)

In the mirror,am crystal clear.
There is a ASH there.
In my eyes are reflected the coolrs of my life.
There is sadness,happiness,fears,tears,love,confidence,weakness,courage,passion and the things that make life.

The mirror shows the future too-it reflects my mind's eye...
There is a him, a me, a family,a dog ...
And children of my own.

But today is a different day, I tell myself.
It is a day to build that future.
Yesterday, I thought, you were my future.
But today is a fresh start as you are no longer there!

Oh how funny, the colors of life are!!
