Mirror Image Imagined

My face is not good but it is not bad
I love the man who looks back at me
Regardless of how I dress I am happy
Rich or poor I am what I am
Opinions are like a mirror
Reflecting my hopes and dreams

I am my reflection
Man in that mirror
Against the lighted background
God lifts my soul
Energizes me and helps me accept

I wait each moment
Making them count
Appalled by addiction
Gainfully I set each course
In touch with myself
Never without hope
End is nearly
Dead end


Trying a new form out. Hope you like

This is a fascinating piece Patrick. I've not tried writing acrostic yet but this inspires me. - Chuck

No matter the reflection. Externally we remain, it's the insides of us that are never the same. The roads of life are the directional flow. It's these roads of direction, in which we generally flow. <*> I like this form Patrick, label it - have a lovely Sunday <*> :)
