The Mirror

When I look at my neighbor, what do I see?

I see a person looking back at me.

Is the person I see compassionate and kind?

Are these the thoughts that go through my mind?

Do I see anger, loneliness and despair?

Does his life seem empty and full of fear?

Do I see Love, Beauty, and JOY?

Do I feel compassion and I don’t know why?

The thoughts that I have are who I must be…

Because the person I see, is a mirror of me.

  1. Love this one. Don really gets close to the base of all of us. He is so intuitive and talented. Maybe dealing with the public in a positive manner has helped him gain all his insights. If you could compile his works and have them locally published, it would be a million seller I bet.
