Tears

Sometimes I ponder and I wonder why
A woman who's blessed tears up to cry
And then I remember her eyes so gentle
Feeling so deeply she loves not a little

Her life is a beautiful poem
Her heart is intricately woven
Her God-given life a sacrifice of love;
Her soul made of beauty given from above

Remember her tear; needed; 'tis true
It's a privilege if shared with you
Her sorrows are all yours now, as are her joys
Her heart is in your hands, your love it employs

Mirror, mirror

Lay away the baby dolls;
Forget the fairy tales.
Their wondrous magic pales
When Venus starts her calls.

Remember just one thing
From the books of fairies;
Fair skin, lips like cherries,
And raven locks of beauty sing.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
One last time tell to me
The secret of my beauty:
Will I be fair at all?
