When you look at me, you see only a fraction of my reflection, and my reflection shows only a fraction of me.

Each day I will be me
The lady I know God made me to be
Everyday I will look in the mirror and see
a different flaw staring back at me.


This will not move me; I will not break.

I will live, and I will learn from each mistake.

I will be honest always.

And I'm not a fair-weather friend; I come to stay.


I am like a root beneath a tree

I absorb my surroundings and I grow.

When troubles come my way, I will not flee.

I accept the understanding, I know that everything I reap is a consequence of that which I sew.

This is kind of like something I wrote on a little note card that remains in my window where I read it at the start of each new day.
