Today was the first time
that I ever saw this person
that I had been living with
all of my life.

As I walked around doing
the task that I had planned
for the day, I stopped
and looked in the mirror.

For once, I believe I had
saw the person that I had
been looking for all of my life.

I looked at my hair showing
a little gray.
I looked at my eyes that had
seen so much.
I looked at my nose that
paused to smell a rose here
and there.
I looked at my lips that
always chose to smile no
matter what the weather.
I looked at my ears that
were always grateful to listen,
I looked at my hands that
had seen many a day of hard work.

Then I looked at my full
face and I saw much youth
still there.
I saw the wisdom of the years
gone by and a peace to let me
know that everything will be okay.

I must say, I thank God,
for this precious moment in time,
because today... I met me.
