Mirror and Mind

A Reminder That You Are Beautiful

Painting by Monika Luniak

Your self-view is misleading and untrue.

I know that in the mirror, you see flaws.

Your mind is sometimes so unkind to you,

But when you feel imperfect, take a pause.

For darling, there is something you must know:

The mind plays tricks and mirrors whisper lies

If only there was some way I could show

The vision I see with my own two eyes.

The sun cannot compete with your sweet smile

Nor with the way it warms a person’s heart.

With beauty that will always be in style,

You are a marvel, you’re a work of art.

Remember always, dear, this single phrase:

Beloved, you are perfect in all ways.
