My Reflection by Richard Region Arrington Saturday, April 17, 2010 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I observed the reflective image Looking back at me

Today I found a stream I sat for a moment, my feet in the cool water ~ A reflection was over the water… I thought I caught a glimpse of myself ~ I observed the reflective image Looking back at me I saw my hair I saw my ears My eye’s looking back at me ~ Is this reflection as curious of me? The eye’s appeared to look into my soul We watched each other I wondered… Who will blink first? ~ I noticed a smile… I got a chill My Image began to smile at me ~ My refection began to move… I was sitting still how could my reflection move without me? ~ I began to feel urgent A need to run… The hairs on my neck Raised _ A breath came across… The back of my neck My reflection was behind me ~ It spoke to me... In a clear voice My reflection had come out Of the stream ~ It whispered in my ear “Daddy, it’s time for supper.” ~ What are you reflecting In your children?
The Voyage Of Billy Buckins

A fascinating reflection of the thoughts of your father-heart. Truly, some of our actions should cause us to be chilled with remorse for the effect they have on our children. Connie

Our dear Joyce Bell (below) said it well in pointing out that "...our children reflect us." Of course you recognized your reflection: A chip off the ol' block, so to speak. Just remember, also, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." An interesting and insightful posting, Richard, with a good lesson for us all. Richard

A NOTABLE QUESTION AND A WONDERFUL WAY OF GIVING A MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE; WE, AS PARENTS, HAVE AN AWESOME RESPONSBILITY TO THE CHILDREN GOD HAS GIVEN US...TO FOLLOW CHRIST, AS OUR CHILDREN FOLLOW US, THUS, TO BE GOOD EXAMPLES...LETTING OUR CHILDREN 'REFLECT' US. I LOVED THIS WORK...ENJOYABLE AND SO TRUE. THANKS FOR SHARING AND CONTINUED BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS, LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
