She looks in the mirror for ages and stares,
And thinks for a second “I wonder who cares.”
She lies on the bed and tries to think deep,
But all she can do is breakdown and weep.

So many stories have yet gone untold.
Now the pictures before her start to unfold.
For seven long years they’ve both been apart,
Yet still he survives so deep in her heart.

The memories flood back with the love that they shared,
And the bonding they had was never compared.
He had raised their son with love and with care.
So when the Lord took him it just wasn’t fair.

She brushes her hair that’s now turning grey,
And knows in her soul the memories will stay.
Again in the mirror she looks for a while,
Thinks long and hard, and then starts to smile.

The guilt has now gone, the tears wiped away.
She’s confident now, for this is her day.
The day has now come, to start a new life,
From this day on she’ll again be a wife.

She twirls round the room and then starts to sing.
Then out of the blue the phone starts to ring.
Her son on the phone, his voice full of pride.
He says, “It’s the day you’ll again be a bride.”

Already at Church she takes her son's arm,
A look in his eye, to make her feel calm.
As both of them start to walk down the aisle.
Their faces light up with a beautiful smile.

The man that is waiting, has shown her much love,
And her husband that was, smiles down from above.
As she takes the last step, she does so with grace,
And stands right beside him and looks in his face.

Now husband and wife, they walk hand in hand.
They smile at each other and both understand.
The sun's in the sky and no sign of rain.
She’s now very sure, you can love again.
