What do You see?

When you see ten thousand sparkles on an ordinary stone.

Or rings expanding on a pond,from where the stone was thrown.

When you see a ray of sunshine slanting downward through the clouds.

Or the uncertain face of a child, change suddenly to proud.

When you gaze upward in wonder at the mystery of space.

When you look beyond the chaos and you find a quiet place.

You dwell upon all things like these with genuine affection.

Because, what you're looking at my friend,

is your own reflection!

These wonderful words are a "reflection" of the man that you are!

Hi Tom,
Once again nice job...I'm wondering if the almost heart shape was on purpose..nahhh...guess not (^_~)
I think us both being new, I've kinda latched on to ya..haha....well that plus I think we have somewhat similar styles, whatever that means, you may not see it, but I have others that have the same tone as yours. Good job and good luck to ya.
Julie
P.S. I posted one to critical analysis...arrrrgh...take a peek if you get a sec, didn't get quite the kind of help I was hoping for there.

I love my reflection and your work is excellent

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Thank you all for the encouragment.  

I check out your poem Julie. Hope I didn't over step with the help I tried to give. Watching for more from you.
