: In Mirror's Glare by adewpearl



In mirror's glare, may I first seek
my grievous sins before I speak
of others' failings, surely there,
as certain as those which I bear,
for in this life I have been weak.

While each of us our secrets keep
in hidden recess dark and deep,
may mine be seen first, if I dare,
in mirror's glare.

Before I curse what others reap,
or ask another man's defeat,
or feel temptation to compare
his life to mine, may I beware
what sins my eyes are bound to meet
in mirror's glare.
