Mirror Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall

hanging pretty down the hall.

 

On my face are lines that show

of a life that only I could know.

 

A wrinkle here a wrinkle there

age spots appearing from who knows where.

 

Eyes of blue stare back at me

for in my soul only they can see.

 

Encompassing a compassionate heart

kind and gentle I play the part.

 

I'm mother, daughter, sister and friend.

I'm a wife to my husband until the end.

 

I'm a God fearing person, thankful to him

for dying on the cross to erase our sin.

 

I'm a lover and fighter, the latter the least.

And I have a great love for all of God's beasts.

 

I live my life as if each day is the last,

and the mistakes that I've made I leave in the past.

 

I believe in our freedom, the American way

and daily I think of the soldiers and pray.

 

I'm proud of the me, who's reflection I see

I'm just Kelly, for now thats enough for me.

    very nice. Great job with the rhyming!
    I got only a general idea of who you are, but I still liked it. (It's refreshing to read about someone being proud of who they are, for a change)
    My favorite lines: "I'm a lover and fighter, the latter the least." and "I live my life as if each day is the last, and the mistakes that I've made I leave in the past"

    introspective

    it seems as if the mirror is revealing the narrator to herself. it has a good rhythm. the third last stanza and the last stanza show that she is (you are) coming to self-actualization. amazing that you could show that through a poem, congrats!

    Mirror Miror on the wall!

    Yes I often think what the mirror sees but cannot say! Very nice reflections that you have!

    Reflected In The You!

    I to reflect what you cannot see,
    My silver pool,
    Beholds your vanity?
    Look closer sweet lady,
    And see within your eyes,
    The beauty there that lay’s within,
    And tell me, no more lies!

    You to see what they do see,
    Your outer skin so feint,
    Yet all you are to me in form,
    Your beauty I do paint,

    I see the stars within your eyes,
    As you cry your need in tears,
    I see the love you wish to hold,
    And all your hidden fears,

    Look deep within my silver form,
    And see the truths I show?
    Leave vanity, its shallow world!
    And see the you I know!

    For all your tears I catch each day,
    The windows to your heart,
    If I could only speak their ache,
    Their beauty to impart,

    So ask of me when dawn to break,
    “Oh mirror tell me true?”
    Who is this woman that I see?
    Reflected in the you!

    This is right on! You have love for yourself, and others, and are real with your feelings and are comfortable with yourself. This is such a refreshing change! It seems like most folks don't know how to be real anymore, and don't want to see the truth about themselves. You do, and speak it loud and proud! Great job!

    We are so many people really, play so many different roles; that change as we go through life too. If we learn from our mistakes we will not make the same ones again. Liked the flow and the message you share with readers in these lines. Easy to read and understand.

    Ooh I liked the image. You encorporated it in to your poem quite well. I liked how on the first line you played with the fairytale line....gave a childish feel about it. It is of course in childhood where one begins to descover the real person inside.
    I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.

    I loved this. You have shared with us all who you are. A wonderful image for all to see. The rhyme and meter were well done throughout this piece, making it flow like the ink from ones pen. Well done. Wish you the best in the contest.
