Notes About The Poem

My Mirror

My mirror, my silver goddess
I stand in front of you and smile
Looking past all my imperfections
I still see something good
If I reflect back on my life
I am not broken
The cracks are smoothed over
and you can see the smile on my face

Bl Devnath May 26, 2017 at 11:13 AM This is a very philosophical and visionary. In imperfection perfection is there. Imperfection is an image of perfection. If one has imperfection means perfection is in him. Lovely. Congrats a lot. Loved always my dear friend, bl Jan Allison May 26, 2017 at 12:16 PM Thanks Bl:-) hugs jan xx
