The Me

This is another poem I wrote after looking up in the mirror after washing my hands in the sink - I literally stood mystified for about 15 seconds, then the moment passed.  I went to my room later and wrote this.  :) 

It's a normal habit,
It's nothing really new,
But when I looked up today,
I have to say,
I was surprised to see you!
I noticed keenly in your eyes
Something I'd not of yet,
And in your face a mystery
I'd never known before.
A countenance I take for granted -
I see it every day.
Yet it was something unbeknownst -
Like the first time you see a familiar face.
In that moment that I stood
Seeking my mirrors council,
I felt beautiful - not outer,
But as if my heart glowed through my face.
The Lord has given, and so takes,
But then and there I saw the me -
The me I someday hope
To really, truly be.
The time it takes to get there
Will mindfully be well-spent
For at the end what I shall get
Will be what none can take.
