Birthday Mirror
I wrapped you a gift
On this your birthday
At first it may seem
As if it's ok
But deep is the meaning
And I hope you approve
As we gather around
To celebrate you
Within the paper
Lies my surprise
As you unwrap my feelings
Behold with your eyes
A plain simple mirror
I'm sure you'll give thanks
Maybe someday you'll find
The joy that it brings
You'll set it aside
Thinking that's all I got
But it's meaning is twofold
Did you think it was not
Please take it home
But do not set aside
Hang it on a wall
To see what it hides
For within that mirror
An Angel appears
So stunning the picture
Ever so clear
From the smile on her face
To the look in her eye
Maybe you'll finally see
What I've realized
It's only a mirror
But there before you
Is the gift I adore
One I can't ever lose
On your good days you look
And may smile as you pass
On the bad ones your beauty
Still shows in the glass
We celebrate you
Here on this day
But really it's me
Who sits and gives thanks
Cause each time you look
Every time you will see
Looking upon you's the gift
God has sent me
It may not seem much
The gift that I gave
But it comes with love
Everyday
For now you may see
Just what I do
How the mirror holds my gift
And that gift is YOU
