The View from Here

You look in the mirror and see the ravages of age,

I see invaluable wisdom and perspective.

You look in the mirror and see imperfections,

I see a gloriously beautiful spirit.

You look in the mirror and see doubts and fears,

I see a reflection of honesty and strength.

I wish you could see that you are beautiful in every way to me.

I wish you could see your worth in my eyes,

feel the gift of your love in my heart.

Then you would see the undeniable perfection that is you.
