Brown eyes
Looked straight at my own
Talking about bathing suits
Pools and beaches
Bikinis and one-pieces
“I’m just like you,Momma”
Things might fit
But I don’t feel pretty
I’m not the way I used to be
Things have changed
So has my body
I look at the mirror
And all I can see
Is the things I need to change
She is just like me
Long legs, curvy hips
Flat stomach
After all those kids
Strong tanned arms
The collar bones that set us both apart
I see all the beauty in her
That she says she sees in me
“I’m just like you,Momma”
I have to agree
Watch the things I claim about myself
They seem to come back
Hit me right between the eyes
“I’m just like my daughter and she’s just like me.”
