Mirror Image

i look at my image in the mirror
everything is getting clearer
i am here i am alive i feel my heart beating inside
i am a human that lives an intriging life
my hands and arms all wonderfully made
my eyes for seeing and my lungs for breathing
feet that walks upon the lush earth
when i was a tiny seed in my mothers stomach she gave birth
what a fine man i have become as i look into the mirror
my life has become clearer
to do unto others that which is good 
to be respectfull courteous and understood
to live is to grow mature from the tiny seed that was in my mothers womb
i hope to one day bloom into a better man
as i look into the mirror i see me for simply who i am
a kind compassionate caring man
