Reflected Through You

I stopped to lend a helping hand

To one I did not know,

And in her eyes I saw myself,

A face that seemed to glow.

I realized that what she saw

Was not just simply me,

She saw me through a lens of you;

The “me” I ought to be.

I liked the look of who I saw

When she saw me through you,

And all it took was loving as

You’ve told me I should do.

For it was not that I had changed,

It was her point of view;

I looked more perfect through the love

That I learned watching you.

I understand more clearly now

The wonder of your grace,

And pray that I’ll see more of me

Reflected through your face.
