Poem Commentary

True beauty is not physical...it is skin deep!

A Talk with the Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Please tell me what you truly see;
I wouldn't mind the truth
As long as it will set me free.

The Mirror answered:

"I see two bright eyes
That always see what's good;
A pair of ears that are willing
To listen to the woes;
A nose that smells and accepts
The nature of a person;
And lips that speak gentle and caring words."

Mirror, mirror in front of me
Please do kindly tell me;
What are the other things
That the others cannot see.

The Mirror smiled and said:

"They focus on your physical appearance,
Some do miss the most important ones;
Shoulders that catch a friend's tears;
Arms that give warmth and comfort;
A pair of hands that offer help;
And two feet that always try to walk
on a righteous path."

Mirror, do you not know
Sometimes it hurts to know
That what they only see
Is the physical appearance of me
How I wish that they will look closer
And be nice enough to see the real me.

The Mirror then replied:

"True beauty lies within your heart
And your mind has always a place for understanding;
And believe me, you are a real beauty
Inside and out."

Mirror, mirror, you are very kind
I hope that people will truly use their eyes
To see me the way that you do
And accept me for what and who I really am.

I'm sure my mirror will like you, too because my mirror only sees the good things in a person. =)

glad you liked it! and thanx for appreciating it =)

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
