REFLECTION
The eyes are a deep set brown
The nose lies flat across the face.
The eyebrows are in question form
As she critiques the form before her
The image seen
Is never perfect
There is always a flaw or two.
But when she learns
To accept those imperfections
With a heartfelt
And melting smile,
Those little faults add character
And the reflection
Smiles back
Beautifully.
