Comment from Jackarrie
I love it, it is so true that we need to see the beauty in our selves, the same meaning I wrote in my poem "Now I can see"
The image is delightful.
"Love's the single path to happiness
While fear and sorrow only bring distress
Look again in your mirror and see my face
And know I planned to meet in this place"
"And our meeting would come at this very time
When you needed to know that you will be fine
So keep a small mirror wherever you go
And know the face that always loves you will show"
Well done. Mary

Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
I'm here as always I shall be
To share my gifts of life with thee
I willed our mind and soul to choose'
And that's a task you can't excuse.
Well done, this is my favorite verse. You have penned a wonderful poem. Nicely done, Carolyn

Comment from val fitchie
a new division of Hallmark-Vaultmark:the lair of Vance and Val-the gothic Christians of the new age world. A place where Truth is packaged in such dark beauty, the neon glow of Sur Real Spitituality is Seen by the conforming blind eye followers of Fakery; like the child that is drawn to the firefly of innocence, only later to be enslaved by his/her own impersonal personal ipodpadpudpedpid led lcd light of useless textual knowledge...(P.s.This Poe-esque tight syllables formatting is working quite well for you lately! "Hear,Hear" my good man. These Gothic lullabyes are RICH

Hello His Grayness
Long time no see
Excellent rhyming poem and I see a person looking at themselves with happy and sad moods
But still see the image of love from

Hi Gert: Great to hear from you and thanks so much for the kind remarks. This is aimed at those with difficulty looking in their own mirrors with pent up feelings of despair and mourning. I hope it will let their imagination show the face of GOD and will somehow make them come to realize it's always there. Blessings: Vance
Comment from 88daren
The wording was like a painting done in the colors of a tortured soul. The rhythm felt like that of a heavy heart seeking relief. What a beautiful poem.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Hi Vance,
Thought provoking work and message. We all have a choice in every aspect of our lives. How we react and relate to our challenges builds character and strength.
Looking at our reflection should always hold love - we cannot give what we do not hold within ourselves already.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Comment from Evelyn Fort Stewart
Oh this is very clever and well-written and it has much truth woven within it. Sometimes it is hard for a person to even like the person they see in the mirror. That is very sad. Great poem. God loves you and so do I.

Comment from tbacha58
My God, you are back stronger in pain, and stronger in sharing your pain. You are back with a mirror of yourself as a child needing someone to hold you and love you. I am sure if you can be ok, you will find that person. I mean who wouldn't want to be with someone who can write such an extremely deep poem from the depth of a heart that is suffering alone. Although with me sometimes when I am down , i love to be alone.
Take care, sorry if I shouldn't have wrote what is above. I just felt your poem was so sad. But beautiful. Hugs Terry.

Thanks Terry: I did not really mean it in the first person singular as the writer in suffering but now that you mention it, I started my day that way and it was a lesson for me so I wanted to share it with others who may not realize GOD is always there even when you look upon yourself in sorrow. Thanks for your mirror my dear! God loves you and so do I! Vance
