Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

Look in my mirror and you will see what I see
You then can see the man that you will always be
Go ahead.  Take the mirror from my offering hand
Hold it up to your face and see how you look as a man
It will show you what is beneath the skin and the hair
My mirror will show you your heart that is always there
When I look over your shoulder, I can see all that too
I see your creativity, your talent and all that you do
I see your kindness and the wise words you speak
Look in my mirror and you can see what I see
I see a man who writes wonderful poetry
I see a man who has been only a friend to me
I see a man that talks to me always so tenderly
But, if you look in your mirror, it just shows you the dark
It has boxed up your life into tiny pieces and parts
It is broken and now will only show you one side
It doesn’t show you the pieces that you so often hide
But, look in my mirror and see yourself there
Your mirror has blinders; my mirror shows that you care.

Wow, what a reflection of inner knowledge, all is on the inside and like a mirror we capture before we reflect. thank you for this wonderful poem.

sometimes, aziza
we know someone better than
they know themselves, yes?

I like this very much
