Mirror Joy
Looking in the mirror do you like what you see?
Is it everything you hoped for, everything you dreamed?
Do you too often look back with regrets,
Ignoring the joy, focused on your have nots?
Think which feels best, the joy or the sorrow.
Avoid regrets at all costs, so you find more joy tomorrow.
Think joy when you look in the mirror and you’re on your way.
Look at yourself and see your successes, yesterday and today.
Little or big they bring you joy.
Little or big they are better than regrets, so...
Looking in the mirror do you like what you see?
