Hey girl in the mirror,
You gotta do better man
You're just a teen now
But You'll soon be a woman
The year came and went,
And you just watched time slip,
Soon to be fourteen,
What'd you do to be proud of it?
Hey, girl in the mirror,
When are you gonna get up, man?
Go enjoy your youth and live while you can
You swore you'd live by Carpe Diem
And now you're watching your time slip by
Girl, don't you wanna live before you die?
Hey girl in the mirror,
You don't have forever
The fire in you now
Will soon be but embers
Find your passion, find what you love,
Don't you fear you'll never be enough?
Hey girl in the mirror,
What are you waiting for?
When will you take risks, when will you dare?
Cause one day you'll have face your fears
Girl you gotta do more, you gotta be more,
How much longer are you gonna shed tears?
Hey girl in the mirror,
You're times' slipping away,
If you wanna live, you gotta start from today
Girl, don't you know you only live once?
Stop dreaming, start doing, while your heart still runs
Hey girl in the mirror,
You need to change things,
If one day you wanna grow wings

A poem of encouragement to get up and get going that there is no time like the present and that time passes too fast. Well done
