The Well

by Mrs C. - Scorpio

I looked into a well one day
to see what I could see.
To my surprise I saw myslf
looking back at me.

I saw what other people saw
For oh so many years.
Then felt a trickle down my face
and heard the splash of tears

I watched my reflection ripple,
as if it were in pain.
That is when it came to me
that through the pain there's gain.

So I walked sway from that well 
with a new insight to me.
That to see what's on the surface
is not all there is to see.

Reason for writing:

    This poem was written by my brother who has been through
so much in his life.  He read it to me one day and I loved
this poem, it gave me a little insight to how he really
feels.
