Reflection
Some of my poems are written in reference to a Bible scripture. This one was originally written in 2012 and now, (9) years later, I found the Bible scripture this poem is referencing: Proverbs 27:17 / Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another.
This is dedicated to all of my wonderful reflections in life. Thanks for always catching me and lifting me up!!
REFLECTION
It is most important
To see your reflection
The image we reflect
As an individual person
Sometimes we overlook
Seeing what we may reflect
Then other people in the world
Can see the reflection neglect
We should always check out
What reflections we portray
The reflections given out
Will come back your way
Reflecting goodness to others
Attracts goodness back to you
As when bad reflections given
Can invite bad reflections too
Inner vision is connected
With the soul deep within
As we look out reflecting
Images our minds imagine
There are the times on occasion
When we may reflect negatively
That’s when we don’t even realize
We’re not seeing ourselves clearly
Some reflections in others
That you may tend to find
With some similar situations
Will sometimes ease your mind
To see reflections of yourself in life
Looking at other people is the way
A true friend will catch you though
When you are having a bad day
Those friends will reflect to you
What you are unable to see
Giving only positive thoughts
And lifting you up spiritually
Be a good reflection to yourself
And to others who need it too
Do not reflect as someone else
Let the real you shine through
