A day will come when
Finding yourself alone
You will come to terms
With your true self

You’ll come to the mirror 
And welcome your face
And be kind to the person
You see in your reflection

A time will come when
You’ll grow to understand
The value of your own friendship
And the wisdom of your own advice

You’ll curl up in a comfortable chair
With a cup of forgiveness, and a good book
You will read it a while
Then turn out the light.
