I was looking at my hair today
to check that it's just right.
Then to my amazement and wonder,
I saw a shocking site.
My mother looking back at me
I saw her in my face.
My mother gone so many years,
was right here in my place.
It didn't make me sad you know,
nor did I feel forlorn.
It brought to me a happiness
that to this family I was born.
So time may pass, oh yes it's true.
What more is there to say?
When you look into the mirror
you'll see your mom one day!
cora fazio
