She’s a reflection of me
wrapped in her own identity
In her I see light and tide
With a promise to be a tsunami
The strength in her heart and soul
frequently leaves me dumbfounded
is she a reflection of me?
or a version I intended to be?

Pallavi, very astute and interesting observation. This could be looking in the mirror or crystal clear lake or it could be a mother looking at her daughter or a sister at her twin. Keith

Thank you so much! It is a mother looking at her daughter and admiring her grit. I only wish, she never forgets it. 🙂

Pallavi, I love the use of the term and admiration of “her grit.” To me, it does not take a tough persona to have grit. In fact, the movie “True Grit” was more about the grit of the young girl than the part played by John Wayne. You should take pride as you already know. Keith
