Because I felt the need to laugh
I bought myself a mirror
And every time I looked inside
An angel would appear
She had a halo of endless gold
And wings that shimmered with spring
And with every prayer I would say
She would start to sing
She sang to me of the universe
And blessings soon to come
And when I needed comfort
She would start to hum
She was my tender spirit
The other part of me
And I knew without a single word
That God has always loved me
And then one day to my dismay
My mirror began to crack
My angel flew out of the glass
I didn’t know if she’d be back
I cried that night because I thought
That I was all alone
But then I heard angelic voices
A choir of angels was in my home
The angels sang with all their might
And gave God’s word to me
“God is forever by your side
And shall always be
So don’t be sad if your mirror
Should suddenly fall apart
It had been just a reflection
Of what is in your heart
Travel with God by your side
And learn to have no fear
And when you need to have a laugh
Remember…
You are the angel in the mirror”
