The Best of Both Worlds

The Best of Both Worlds

Baby girl crawls across the carpet

Up to the shiny mirror

Reaches out to touch the smiling face

No need for introductions

So new but so familiar

Meets the best friend she’ll ever name

She’s got the best of both worlds

Nothing holding her back

From all she can be

Without a worry or care of what lies ahead

taking step by step until she flies away

Blushing bride turns to gaze

Into the full-length mirror

All her hopes and dreams have come to pass

A little nervous with the thought of

so much love to give

But delighted by the thrill of it all

She’s got the best of both worlds

A whole life full of possibilities

No need to look back

When life’s an open door

She put her heart and soul

into that band of gold

Silver lady stops to catch

A glimpse of her reflection

Turns side to side

and smiles with glee

Thinks of things she’s done

games she lost

& rights she’s won

Thankful for her work and family

She’s got the best of both worlds

True peace of mind and memories

She’s got nothing to prove

‘cause there in her youth

she gave the best she had

and was the best that she could be
