I looked in the mirror and what did I see? I saw someone who was not me. Many may believe that it is all a joke. But last night I'm sure that Jesus spoke. He smiled on me and whispered my name. And this morning I know that I am not the same. The one in the mirror looks like me, but it some how different. How can that be? There's a smile on that face and a song in that heart. I look so happy. When did that start? Was it last night when I heard his voice? Was it last night when I made my choice? When I walked down the aisle and I said that prayer... my new life, was it born right there? I can't seem to keep the smile off of my face and I always speak of Jesus no matter the place. Some don't understand. They think I'm strange, but I've got to convince them of the change. I want them to share the joy that's in me, but they are confused and say they can't see. So I point to my heart and I say "He's in here". He's the one who made the me in the mirror. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

T.A.* I remember that walk and the feeling that I had changed while everyone else looked on and thought I had really "lost it" when actually I had found it! Beautifully done I could see the *smiles* from here  |

I too remember this moment well...it was not too long ago in fact. Thank you for sharing such a lovely poem about a truly marvelous thing. *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |
