Life is a mirror, clear and bright,
Reflecting all within your sight.
Do you reflect the gentle light,
Or let the darkness take its flight?
In every face, in every glance,
It shows the depths, the shifting dance,
Of joy and pain, of love and strife
This mirror holds the breath of life.
Do you reflect the warmth of grace,
Or shadowed fears you cannot face?
What do you show the world, and why
Is it the truth, or just a lie?
For every heart you gaze upon,
The mirror’s light is never gone.
It shows them who they really are,
A spark, a dream, a distant star.
But what of you, when all is still?
Do you reflect the strength of will,
To see your faults, to love your flaws,
To greet your beauty with applause?
This mirror knows both love and hate,
But guides you toward the brighter fate.
Reflect the light, and let it grow,
For what you give is what you show.
Original poem by David Kausek 2024
