“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.
