Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

In the Mirror of Life

IN THE MIRROR OF LIFE

In Mirror of Life, reflections,
span a lifetime of tears. 
Reflects moments of pure courage,
and … embarrassing fears.

Its reflections aren’t enlargements,
of deeds both good and bad.
It’s what it truly is, memories,
we can’t change … a tad.

Bible is like God’s “life mirror,”
reflects our heart’s intents.
Discerns the words, to others speak.
reveals … just what we meant.

In the Mirror of Life, I pray,
that what God sees, sees true. 
LIfe, full of gratitude, and hope. 
and prayers … I prayed for you.
