Self-Portrait by Gail
Do we reflect our goodness
To the people we meet?
Or does our badness show
As plainly as our feet
I can reflect on actions past
I can reflect the sun
But all reflections
Are things that are done
We must take this moment
Like a tiger by the tail
Reflect on consequences
Mark our decisions well
For only in a moment
Can we decide for sure
How we will reflect our light
Let it be good and pure
This poem was written by a blog friend in 2013, Gail At The Farm no longer blogs, but her poem lives on.
Wow, this poem is amazing!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHope you started the year happy, healthy, with both Bob and Beau walking better than they had been a couple of months ago, and that you can look forward to a year worth reflecting on 12 months from now. Best wishes Mr T and F

The quote reminds me of Edith Wharton"s, "There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." Either one works for us bloggers.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new year!
Hello Sandra. I hope Bob is on the mend, and you are both feeling OK. I was sorry to know about the Hiccups, must have been terrible to go on for so long, but I'm glad it's been sorted. The poem is beautiful, and I hope the cute little you riding a flamingo is how you are feeling, uplifted and happy. All the best for this year, with better everything!!
