I see you

I see you

Every morning and night for a minute or two,
In the mirror ,face to face, I see you,

I see the smiles, the sighs, the vanity and the grays too,
I see your triumphs, your struggles, through your excuses, a few,

Between what is expected of you,
I know you sometimes feel, that your hopes and dreams are see-through,

But for those few moments we meet each day, I see you,
And acknowledge you are important too.
