When Things Go Wrong

I'd always blame my mother
  My father, sister, or brother
Yet when I finally looked in the mirror,
  I saw my own face; there was no other!

Yup. The mirror doesn't lie, and the truth hurts. ---Except I see nothing but friendship and goodwill in your mirror. And that's the truth! Best wishes, Gershon
