Mirror

Life is like an old mirror
Stare into it become a seer

The sins of the father they say
Someone someday will have to pay

Those things you thought you got away
Return in living color on a distant day

With disappointment you watch it all unfold
The author on things to which you've bestowed 

The yin and the yang of life 
Remembers those things filled with strife

Maybe life is all filled with quite dis-pare 
Of those mistake that one can not repair

None of us want to look in that mirror! Good one.
