Sarah Chen Poet Lyric

Reflection

I see you as I sit, 
By the river,
Trees rustling, 
A cool shiver,
I try to read your mind,
Words unspoken,
Deep within,
I see you broken, 
By tiny waves,
Of emptiness,
Of sadness,
Of fear,
Suddenly,
It becomes clear,
On the surface, 
I can see,
You are a reflection, 
Of me,
But how can that be?
I am strength,
I am honor,
I am pride,
So I turn my back,
And leave you behind.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
