My Mirror

by Bobby D. - Not entered

My mirror in which
blond hair I see,
two deep blue eyes
look back at me.
A heart I behold
that is open to all,
tender and loving,
susceptible to fall.
Casting back the fears
and joys of my past,
I see in my mirror 
time has gone too fast.
Not made of sand but 
the dirt of the ground,
God made me a mirror
so that I may be found.
Reflect, teach me
till my time is done,
in my death, still reflecting, 
my mirror, my Son.

Reason for writing:

    I have four sons, one of which is my mirror image. He has been diagnosed as having ADD. I have come to the realization that I was the same as a kid, but am one of the lucky ones to have grown out of it. My son has the most tender heart, but hides his true self to fit in with his brothers and to make freinds. He reminds me of me at his age. He has helped me to find myself and to accept who I am. I am in the process of helping him find himself now.
