She may represent different things to the speaker on different days. She could bring him heaven or hell. She could be the beauty he sees or the beast. She could be the source of famine or feast. She is a mirror for his dreams. Her smile reflected in a stream is beautiful. Though she seems happy in a crowd, her eyes show private pride and pain when she cries alone. She may be the love that cannot last, or the reason he survives. She is the why and where of his life. He will care for her through the years, and take her laughter and tears as souvenirs. She is the morning of his life.
