Advice for a Friend When you're miserable And overcome by tedium,-- Admire yourself in the mirror! Like a mermaid, You emerge from its medium Like a miracle! When you're meandering In and out of the misty memory Where the mercury's fallen to zero, Do no listen to the same old melody,-- Admire yourself in the mirror! When you're serving the final minutes in The cell of your conscience for some misdemeanor The majority rules that you're innocent,-- Admire yourself in the mirror! And when life seems morbid And insignificant And your fire burns into an ember,-- May the mirror reflect your magnificence And illumine the world with its splendor!

Ah Master, and now I am smiling, for my mother always took the mirror away, saying that there were things to be done... thank you for this! |
