Facing Ourself

by jaybird1

Looking often in the mirror,
scared perhaps, at what I see.
The face appearing does not seem
what my wish for it would be.

If I look into the mirror,
with a life filled with regret,
thinking of things done in the past
and some things I might do yet.

Looking at myself in great depth,
seems to tempt me and I ask,
is the one standing before me,
hiding under a face mask?

We all should face life, day by day,
putting love and truth on show.
Then we will truly find the place
where peace and hope and joy grow.

Sometimes we need to look at ourselves and see if we are
facing life in the best and earnest way- jaybird
