Reflections

The Woman I Am
(Glen Allen)

The woman I am
Hides deep in me
Beneath the woman
I seem to be.

She hides away
From the stranger's eye
-She is not known
To the passers-by.

She goes her way,
The woman I seem,
But the woman I am
Withdraws to dream!

The woman I seem
Goes carelessly -
When love goes by
Does not seem to see.

But the woman I am
Knows sudden fear...
And hides more deeply
When love draws near!

For love might look closely
Perhaps...and see
Her beneath the woman
I seem to be!
