mirror, mirror, on the wall
could make fools of us all
walking past, we catch a glance
practice pomp and circumstance
if glass surface’s too reflective
naked soul knows we’re defective
we see ourselves, then look away
don’t focus on our faults today
mirror fogs with each warm breath
face clear truth before cold death
scripture’s gracious mirror heed
words of life are what we need
be not afraid to look in mirror
for hellish smoke is to be feared

You speak with the kind of bold courage that only a person on the right side of faith could. A faith that knows forgiveness is the way to avoid a hell of one’s own making. You are right. We should have no fear in seeing the ugly truth, yet most do…

Thanks, Amaya. We have nothing to lose by asking forgiveness…and all to gain!

The mirror is not always the best place to look when we want to find ourselves. So true. (K)

Interesting thoughts, Fred…if God looks into a mirror. It might melt in His glory!

Smiles that sounds like
What a Politician might
Attempt to Do Melt A Mirror With their Glory to Prove they are Worthy God is Awesome Now
Enough not to have to
Prove His Manhood
With SMiLes With no
Need of Announcements
As God Eternally Comes
Now but that is only
How i See God Within
And the Mirror still
Stands up to my Gaze..
With Due Respect to
God Within and if
Oceans Need no Worship
To Cover Three Quarters
Of the Earth Highly
Unlikely God Requires
Worship from Little
Bitty Humans to Cover
It ALL surely not in

We’re created to worship Someone…perhaps God smiles into the mirror, instead of melting it. Love to you my friend!
