Hope you don't mind if I inject a children's poem once in a while. It makes life fun

THE LOOKING GLASS

Looking into mirrors
There are lots of things to see
And every time I look, I'm in there
Looking back at me

There's a mirror in my mommy's room
A mirror in the hall
And I keep running back and forth
So I can see it all

I gaze into one mirror
But don't stay there very long
Cause I'm in the other mirror, too
I've been there all along

I stand up really close to me
I look me in the eye
I can almost hug myself
If I really, really try

I run back to the other mirror
Trying hard to cling
But then I hurry back again
So I won't miss a thing!

I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
Loving what I see
I can't get enough of mirrors,
'Cause I love to look at me!

This is precious - a glimpse into the mind of a child! Thanks for this one!

I never saw a rule book that excluded children's poems. This is cute. Sounds just like what a child would do.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more?
