In my minds eye, I look great.  It isn’t until I see a photograph of myself, or look in the mirror that I see my true reflection.  I prefer to see myself in my minds eye.  Even so, I don’t run from cameras, and I don’t remove all mirrors from my home.    Sometime the photo or mirror shows me I should change my hair style or outfit, but if it is something that cannot be changed, then I try to accept myself for who I am.

Reflection on Image

–

Ponder face, mirrors reflection.

Love of self, have great affection.

Face image with hesitation.

–

Looking glass is too revealing.

Wish these flaws to be concealing.

–

Capture face on camera lens.

Forward movement of time suspends.

Same face, never transcends.

–

Do not care for recent snap shot.

Reminders of looks, I like not.

Rather browse through old ones I’ve got.

–

Photograph is too revealing,

Under study, need concealing

–

Upon further reflection of late,

Maybe I could without hate,

Upon these reflections relate.

–

Images of self revealing.

Opportunity for healing.

–

Ponder face, mirrors reflection.

Love of self, have great affection.

To any flaw, make correction.

–

If correction an option not,

If concealer not remove spot,

Accept myself for what I’ve got.
