And when I lock eyes with you, I see my reflection.
I see me in you. I see what is possible because of you.
When I look in the mirror. When someone gives me a compliment.
When it’s hard. When it’s tough. When I fall. When I get up.
When I pray. When I laugh. When I cry. When I dance.
When I read. When I write. When I speak.
When I walk through the house.
Mom I see you.
When I’m kind. When I’m not. When I’m honest. When I lie.
When I iron. When I do laundry. When I cook. When I clean.
When I doubt myself. When I have faith. When I see Dad.
When I see our family. When I see your friends.
When I travel. When I’m scared. When I’m blessed and I know it.
Mom I see you.
In all the pictures, although they are few.
Is seeing you ever enough?
And when I lock eyes with you I see my reflection.
