Reflection Of You by Tonese Rene Reed

I am a reflection of you
It?s funny how things turn out
I can remember when I was a little girl
I would always say that I never wanted to look like you
Now look, I am a reflection of you

I am a reflection of you
It?s funny how things turn out
I used to think that you were the worst mother in the world
But, after trying to find my own way,
I realize how great you really are and how blessed I am.

I am a reflection of you
It?s funny how things turn out
Is there anything you cannot do?
Maybe I?m not a reflection of you.

It seems as though you?re strong,
as if you never break down
Feeling unappreciated, but, yet, still smiling
How do you do it?
I couldn?t do it.
Maybe I?m not a reflection of you.

So, I look into the mirror and I look really hard
And then I understand.
From experiences you learn.
From learning you appreciate.
From appreciating you love.
And from loving, you understand.

Am I a reflection of you?
All that I am is because of you
And all that I?m going to be
Will be because of your love and understanding.

So, the answer is, "Yes,"
I am a reflection of you
It?s funny how things turn out
Because all that I want to be
Is everything you already are.
