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.
