Mirror Mirror On The Wall
Mirror Mirror On The Wall
By Joeysguy
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the loneliest person of all
This mirror that hangs on my wall
For a long time and never did fall
I use to lift my kids when they were small
To look in the mirror on the wall
After a few years the kids grew tall
They no longer needed my help to look in the mirror on the wall
Looking in the mirror for many years
With smiles and even some tears
In that mirror I would see my life
Standing with me, my kids and my wife
Now in front of that mirror what do I see
Standing there, only me
I think of hanging pictures on the opposite wall
So the mirror would show me the image of us all
What the mirror has shown
That I will go through life on my own
My pain never goes away
Sometimes it's stronger each day
