Two eyes gazed back, my eyes

Iridescent in the glass

Is this who I am?

The tears looked like dew drops

Little rainbows arising in the light

I would’ve thought my hair looked different

That I would’ve been closer to the sky

I gazed a little closer

For I didn’t notice at first,

The beauty hidden beneath

Layer by layer, so preciously made

Seen when I smiled just a little bit more

Or let my forehead crinkle in thought,

That I could look so beautifully me

An innermost warmth rose up me

Twisting and turning in joyful butterflies

This is who I am

What a gift it is to be true
