No Small Moments

“Mirror, Mirror”

*A song I wrote when my daughters were 9 and 7

I didn’t realize time was passing

faster than my heart could know.

Nothing in this world is lasting,

not even love we try to show.

The girls are growing, stretching wings,

testing us to find the truth.

Who gave them both permission

to turn into me and you?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

have they listened to our hearts at all?

Are they following a higher call

they’ve found in me and you?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

will they fly or will they fall?

Mirror, mirror

Children are mirrors on the wall.

Every moment is a treasure chest

storing memories for tomorrow.

We need to keep our minds aware

we give them love and hope or sorrow.

Who they are is who they will be,

we are the vine they are our fruit.

The future’s table is set today

with seeds sewn by me and you.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

have they listened to our hearts at all?

Are they following a higher call

they’ve found in me and you?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

will they fly or will they fall?

Mirror, mirror

Children are mirrors on the wall.

Now is the time to love them,

we may not have another day.

Now is the time to show them

before they choose life-stealing ways.

There are no small moments.
