Girl Before A Mirror

I look at myself in the mirror and I like what I see.

I see someone who takes up more space than she used to but I also see

long, blond hair that turns my husband on.

I see blue eyes that try to look for the best in all people.

I see a nose that loves the aroma of my mom’s peanut butter cookies.

I see full lips that like to sing praises to Christ Jesus.

I see two ears that delight in the sound of my children’s laughter.

I see shoulders that sometimes feel the weight of the world.

I see two strong arms that ache to hold a newborn just one more time.

I see breasts that nourished and nurtured three miracles.

I see a waist that can still be embraced in my husband’s arms.

I see full hips that made the perfect seat for a curious baby.

I see long legs that will stand up for what is right.

I see feet that will go the extra mile for those I love.
