Life’s Mirror

If we could look into life’s mirror,
A picture of our lives we then would see.
We’d see ourselves as others see us,
And bow our heads in deep humility.
We’d not find time for cheap or idle gossip,
For cutting words to faint and faltering hearts,
But see ourselves as in a mirror,
And at ourselves we’d point the poison darts.
We’d feel the pain we often caused others,
By thoughtless words we were so swift to speak
If we could look into life’s mirror—
We’d humbly kneel, and true forgiveness seek.
