The Face in the Broken Mirror



As I look back at the life I’ve lived,

I now realize what’s been at fault

for the pain and misery that I’ve seen

And all is owed to the face

In the shattered mirror.

For a while I saw it wrong,

The pieces have distorted things ever so much.



But I now know whose face I see

In the mirror that’s broken

The only face I now see is of course, me!

All those years I failed to see

And I blamed it on whom I thought it to be.

But as I now know I have been wrong,

Can’t you see?



It has been my face and me

Who has caused the misery . . .
