A message of Inspiration for all of us

Written for the Grand kids to
Accompany the gift of a
magnifying mirror


The Mirror
Here’s your Mirror, hang it anywhere,
It shows every wrinkle and every hair,

But that’s not all, because the eyes you know
Let’s everything inside you show

God made you beautiful from the start,
But maybe lately you’ve skipped your part

Are you still healthy, clean and fair?,
Or, Did you let ol’Satan enter there?,

So here’s the message your mirror brings,
If you live with hate and evil things,

Like anger, cheating and deceit
Your face will age in slow defeat,

Lines of anger will remain
A smile will seldom come again.

Happiness and love will cease,
Your troubled life will know no peace

A wasted life that you can’t bare
Of deep Depression and despair

Don’t shatter this glass to ease your pain
Because,all of the ugly will still remain,

But turn to Jesus, and instantly,
You’ll see how beautiful your life can be

Take his hand, let go of sin,
And now your mirror will smile again.

The image of the mirror has served poets well over time and I see continues to do so. Some fine advice here in rhythm and rhyme. Enjoyed, like a child. John

Believe me, one can stay straight without the help of Jesus. But it's nice to think that for those that need such encouragement, that it's there. The mirror certainly, doesn't lie.
