A view of ourselves in a mirror reveals a mixed bag of good and evil. There are moments of joy and times of sorrow but what is conveyed is the tale that we must keep trying to do better at all times.
Look at us
Tell me what you see
I see your reflection
In a mirror
- – -
I not only notice
A face that’s grimacing in pain
But a face that’s painted
In a variety of colors
- – -
I see lipstick
Rouge upon your cheeks
Trembling lips
And nervous hands
Trying to hold a cup of coffee
- – -
A mirror does not lie
It shows the latest news
Of wars and rumors of war
Death, bombings and limbs
Lost on the battlefield
- – -
Some pictures are
Not always depressing
At times there are victories
And triumphs

About which we are proud
- – -
We laugh and cry
Lifting up our voices to the heavens
And giving thanks
For all the good things
That have been bestowed upon us
- – -
All in all
We view a mixed bag
One that’s neither here nor there
But inviting us
To try to do better next time
