Gloria Jean
Sitting at the mirror,
a precious little girl
looking deep inside
herself
into another world.
She wasn’t sure she
liked
The reflection that was
seen.
She knew her name yet
could not see
the treasured Gloria
Jean.
She saw herself as she
thought others did
Finding each and every
flaw,
When she looked at her
reflection
It wasn’t herself she
saw.
She saw a girl who
seemed so weak,
A girl quite plain and
dull.
She felt like she was
not a gift
to anyone at all.
God saw Gloria Jean’s
heart was troubled
And one night in a dream
He opened up her eyes
and mind
And this is what was
seen.
God said, “You are a
gift and more than just to me!”
He then began to show
her things that no one else could see.
She saw herself through
eyes
that weren’t hers at all.
She now could see with
God’s own eyes
Another girl so small.
Perplexed by what she
now could see
A new and different
reflection,
She realized she knew
this girl
But struggled to make
the connection.
The girl that was before
her now
Was beautiful and brave,
Deep blue eyes full of
passion
And a heart that gave
and gave.
Then suddenly before her
A young woman did
appear.
An adoring husband by
her side
And four children she
held dear.
Carefully she reminded
each of her little ones
That they were special,
loved, and smart
Magnificent and fun.
She then turned to her
husband
Looking deep into his
eyes
Without a word she let
him know
He was her perfect
prize.
Love beamed from her heart
like sun rays
Kindness from her pores
Patience, understanding,
peace
That stretched to
distant shores.
Then God said,”This girl
you see,
Is the same one that I
see.
I see YOU as a gift
and the gifts not just
to me.”
As Gloria Jean awoke
From a long and restful
sleep
She realized that this
amazing dream
Was a gift for HER to
keep.
God made her just as He saw fit
Each piece and every
part,
And only God can fill
the holes
That lie within our
heart.
On this special birthday
Know that you may get lots
of gifts but to us
YOU are the gift!
With Love,
Brittany
