i look in the mirror

i see the blemish

you see the sparkle

 

i look in the mirror

i see the impatience, the greed

you see the generosity

 

i look in the mirror

i see the worn out skin, the callouses

you see the beautiful memories

 

i look in the mirror

i see mistakes i've made, again and again

you see my persistence in trying

 

i look in the mirror

i see loss, disappointment

you see hope and grace

 

you always see grace
