Life’s Mirror New Year
A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 01/01/12
Look in the mirror of this very life
was it you who created your own strife
when you lied down at night to sleep
did the pain in your heart make you weep
Did you look closely at all you have done
was it everything under the bright shining sun
Had you ever seen rainbows that disappeared
what did you do with another new year
Was there a resolution that you thought of
about how to love like the love from above
or did it pass you by year after year
and now your heart is left with nothing but doubt and fear
As you look in the mirror of your very life
were you always alone or did you have a husband or wife
Did you share the days of togetherness
or was your life a lonely mess
What is it now that you see
were you really happy choosing to be free
Will the loneliness bring you peace of mind
will you ever again be caring and kind
Look very closely at where you have been
and ask yourself if you were really ever a friend
if you really loved anyone so true
without causing them to feel blue
Do you like what you see at the close of the day
can you make peace with yourself come what may
do you like what you see in the mirror when you look deep inside
or is your face blurry from all your false pride
