What She Sees and What I See

She looks into mirror
And all she can see is the bad
She's too tall, too curvy
Her nose is too big for her face
Her eyes too far apart
Her lips too big
And far too many freckles

When I look at her I see
That her height could make a basketball player
Her curves could make a model
How much she can see through her perfect eyes
How her lips turn into the most wonderful smile
And how her freckles make her seem so sweet

She looks into a mirror
To find what she can change
If she could have one wish
It would be to change her eyes

When I look at her I see
The fiery spirit with a wicked bite
Clearly shining through those bright blue shining stars
The one that can be buried with a smile
But risen with a single shout

She looks into a mirror
To find her many flaws
She wants to change her spirit
The one that always gives a fight
If only it would disappear

When I look at her I see
The many she could inspire
If only she got a chance
To ignite that light that never seems to fade

She looks into a mirror
In hopes of seeing something right
But all she can see is wrong
She wishes she could change
Everything about herself

When I look at her I see
The perfection that leaks from her pores
To me she is perfect at everything she does
And if I could have one wish
It would be to let her see what I see
