House With No Mirrors

There once was a little girl growing up in a small town..

That never seemed to quite fit in when she looked up and down…

One day she asked her Mother,”Why are there no mirrors in our house?”

She replied,”Silly daughter the bad spirits they do arouse.”

Sadly ,the little girl replied,                       How am I supposed to know who I am if I can’t see who I am on the outside?”

Years later, on her daughters 18th birthday her Mom decided to give her a very special gift…

As she wrapped it she said,”Maybe this will give her sprit a lift?”

At the party as she slowly opened the gift from her Mom her face filled with surprise…

The one thing she’d always wanted was right in front of her eyes.

Something that was always missing since birth…

Causing her to question her own value and self worth?

She turned the mirror to face her reflection..

Her Mom explained,”I raised you this way for your protection”

”To keep you safe from things and people who might change you and me”

“I chose to wait ‘til you’re an age where you understand the costs…

“Of looking in the mirror and getting lost…”

”On the ways of the world and how it says you should be”

”To help you truly find yourself and understand what you see.”
