The Mirror

Teresa Poucher

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1Corinthians 13:12)

When I look in the mirror what do I see, but only me

through a glass so dimly.  Sometimes I can see a 

faint resemblance of thee.

Oh if I could see a reflection of you,

Oh how beautiful I would be.

Every day is the same.  I go on unchanged, the

people don’t have any faces.  And I cannot see

what’s right in front of me. A life that is shattered to pieces.

I’ve passed the same house for so many years.

I never knew it was there, till it burned down to the

ground, and the whole family perished.

Lord I don’t want to see, only me, when I look in the mirror.

Lord I can’t remain and go on the same.  Make me into

your image.

Lord let me see a reflection of you instead of me.
