Mirror

The mirror shows only a picture,
                                               that image does not define you.
                                                 When it comes to importance,
                                             what matters is what's inside you.

                                             Do you have patience and kindness?
                                               You have good looks, this I know.
                                       Though the things that make you successful 
                                          are the things the mirror does not show.
 
                                            Some people search for appearance,
                                               some people dig farther down.
                                            But what makes somebody perfect
                                             is not just seen, it must be found.
