ADMIRED

ADMIRED

A bright
Pair of eyes
I caught 
Watching
Me...

I started
Then gave
A little 
Scream of
Glee...

I was being
Quietly
Admired
For the first
Time
In my
Life!

Quickly
I smoothed,
Down
My frock
And ran fingers
Through
My hair...

I just had
To appear
A beauty
So fair!

The bright
Eyes
Blinked...
A little sigh
I heard
As from 
The shadows
My admirerer 
Emerged.

I gasped
When her
I beheld...
It was
So surprising ..

We giggled
As upon each
Other 
We gazed
For,
From the 
Shadows
Stepped forth
In a mirror
Reflection
Of my own!
