I look at this photo
And I see so many reflections
Of all different types
Touching my emotions
I feel my love reflected back
From the girl growing so fast
In her eyes right from her heart
I know this love will last
I hear history reflected here
Through the cannon's last shot
Telling us to talk
That advice would help a lot
I see light reflected brightly
On the surface of the sea
Reminding us that life
Is a gift for you and me
