When you look in the mirror what do you see? Do you see yourself as you are or what you want to be? Do you see yourself as younger than the reflection shows to you? Or do you see the greying hair and the wrinkles God gave to you? Are you proud of what you've accomplished, the kind words you've used today? Can you hold your head up high, or do you want to walk away? Can you look yourself in the eyes and know that you are good? Or are you ashamed of what you've said instead of what you should?

I read that as a poem and it brought tears to my eyes, it's that good. I see me when I look in the mirror, all the flaws and the good things too. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem!

It didn't start that way but it kind of ended that way. Thank you for the wonderful words. I see me when I look in the mirror - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

sometimes mirror shows our real condition of life and it may not be good for self esteem.

Sometimes it does. This post came about because of a question I heard one of my neighbors ask her sister. "How do you look at yourself in the mirror at night".
