REFLECTIONS

Most people at one time or another
Reflect on their lives, what they
Did or didn't do or didn't try to do something
Well.  Opportunities missed and regret to this day.

It doesn't do any good to have regrets about
Things you wish you could change.  It's all
Water under the bridge--no going back.  No
Time travel to fix things, that plays been called.

The only regrets you may be able to fix
Is a broken friendship with an old friend.
Or reconnect with an estranged family member.
You can make the effort, it's up to them.

Another way to reflect is to look in
The mirror at your reflection and think if
You like what you see.  The outer cover
Can be made beautiful with adding bits.

All that is superficial.  When you
Look in the mirror--you need
To see your inner beauty in your soul.
If you have that, that's what needs to be seen.

You may be beautiful or handsome on
The outside, but if you haven't got a kind
Heart, empathy for people with problems, and
Only do things for recognition--your soul is blind.

Reflect on that and really make an effort to
Change that reflection.  Make sure you
Really mean it--people don't like fakes or to be
Tricked and used for someone's gain.  Be true.
