Mirror Image Imagined

My face is not good but it is not bad I love the man who looks back at me Regardless of how I dress I am happy Rich or poor I am what I am Opinions are like a mirror Reflecting my hopes and dreams I am my reflection Man in that mirror Against the lighted background God lifts my soul Energizes me and helps me accept I wait each moment Making them count Appalled by addiction Gainfully I set each course In touch with myself Never without hope End is nearly Dead end Trying a new form out. Hope you like

No matter the reflection. Externally we remain, it's the insides of us that are never the same. The roads of life are the directional flow. It's these roads of direction, in which we generally flow. <*> I like this form Patrick, label it - have a lovely Sunday <*> :)
