You are modest, selfless and kind,

too gentle in ego to see

how divine and gorgeous a person you are.

When I tell you... you disagree.

So I hold before you a mirror,

its reflection strong and true.

Take a look at the wondrous vision there,

the fabulous, marvelous you.

Do you see the woman I see?

Do you see a phenomenal sight?

Do you see an honest and tender soul

who's spirit is high in flight?

The woman you see in the mirror

lights a path for those who aspire

to be more than their daily circumstance,

a woman I respect and admire.
