Sitting on the patio
viewing the world through a tree
caged in by life’s circumstances
lonely as can be
In between the branches
a mirror suddenly appears
leaning in closely to see
before it disappears
Within the mirror
are visions of my life
failures in pewter
times of unbelievable strife
Looking closer
as my eyes fill with tears
are visions of me being carried
during the worst times of fear
The mirror changes
there is joy within the pain
a silver lining in the clouds
love in lessons gained
The mirror shows
that I have never been alone
always a loving guiding presence
one that is well known
The mirror shifts
to one last scene
a golden road to follow
loved ones waiting for me
Mirror no longer there
the loneliness is gone
knowing God is always with me
my soul is now strong
