Looking in a looking glass We see how many years have past Since we've seen who we truly were Were we ever really sure? Looking in a looking glass We see how much we've aged Every day that has gone by Has turned another page Looking in a looking glass We see stories we'll never tell Private feelings, emotions unspoken Something we know so well Looking in a looking glass We are reminded of what brought us here The life we live and cherish The loved ones we hold near Looking in a looking glass We find we still have faith Faith that the world still is good And goodness comes to those who wait Looking in a looking glass I finally can see Everything that makes you you And all that makes me me Thomas A.

This is poem is just as great as River. You have a great talent. Looking through my looking glass, I see how much things have changed, and I hate it! But like you said in your poem, we'll find our faith again, pick up the pieces and move on. Great poem  Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach. |

I was watching for this one Thomas, after you'd mentioned it in the response to my poem the other day ... I was surely not disappointed. Very flowing and creative thoughts in this verse ... really wonderful writing! Best wishes, /Kit |

Great Poem Thomas! I must say that this has to be my favorite of all of them. It is not as dark and complex as all of the others. You've got my vote for this one! |

Thomas, I really like this poem. It makes me stop and think. Probably because so much has changed for me since I've left for college. Thanks for making me reflect. Crystal "I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be the greatest fan of your life." |

Very well written work. I enjoyed it to the full extent that I would like to enjoy every poem I read. I would also like to point out how much I loved the last 2 lines. It finishes up the whole poem perfectly.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
