it is your beauty it denies
when you let yourself be deceived
by the mirror's veil of disguise
that, only you, ever believed

but how you're viewed through other's lives
will tell how you really appear
not the myth the mirror contrives
that's built on your self-doubt and fear

deceptions in your mirror's lies
can not alter what I have seen
like your reflection, that my eyes
finds beautiful beyond my dreams

when your mirror shows otherwise
changing the image you perceive
just remember, the mirror lies
but my vision you can believe.

(smiles) Yes, just because it is a vision doesn't mean what you feel is fake! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is so wonderfully wise, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jason, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I think you should indulge your whims a little more.

Hmm..what I get from this. When the mirror fails, you can be trusted because you can see clearly? I know there is more. I just wouldn't want to give it all away.

The mirror sees what ever you believe, enjoyed.
