Reflections

Looking into a mirror
gazing upon myself
the image that is
 The man that I am
wondering about the man
I would become
 The journeys taken
the heartache shared
will this mold me
shall time become my teacher
 Wondering what shall lead me
my heart or reason
 My reflection shows me who I am
the question remains
what am I to become
 The lessons that life teaches
at times seem to be without reason
my heart feels far too much
 The road traveled has been dark and lonely
but the future stands before me
as the reflection in this mirror at present

If we could know the future, it would probably scare us to death. I like the way that you approached the subject. Sara
