“I like being you,” said the reflection in the mirror. “To me, you are perfectly perfect.” I blushed. “Me?” “Yes, you! And by the way, you have wonderful eyes.” I blinked - astonished. “I do?” “Absolutely! They sparkle like stars on the darkest of nights.” I gazed downward. “Thank you. Your eyes sparkle too.” “Sweet of you to say! You have a marvelous voice.” I gently whispered, “You really think so?” “Of course! You sound as joyous as a song bird whistling in the trees.” “And you have a magnificent smile.” I sheepishly grinned. “Well… Mama always says, ‘Start every day with a smile.’” “I agree! Your smile is as bright and cheerful as the sun in the sky.” “And you are quite smart.” I took a step towards the mirror. “I do try very hard.” “You sure do. You are as brilliant as a rocket scientist!” “I like that you are friendly.” I leaned in closer. “It’s very important to be nice, you know.” “It sure is. You are as peaceful as a butterfly.” “And you have a lot of courage.” I raised my head high. “I auditioned for the school play today!” “Outstanding! You are as brave as a lion.” “You are a fantastic dancer.” I spread my arms wide. “Watch how fast I can twirl!” Around and around I went. “Amazing! You are as graceful as a dolphin gliding through the sea.” I plopped on the ground giggling as the room playfully spun around. “And you have a terrific laugh!” “Thank you very much!” “Your chuckle fills the air with bubbly joy.” “But most of all…I like your heart. Your kindness is as beautiful as a rainbow.” I stood up and walked towards the mirror. “To me, you are perfectly perfect.” I gently pressed my hands against the glass. “I like being you.” We smiled in unison. “I like being you, too. I want to be you forever.”
