403. My mirror
In the morningWhen I look in my mirror
I see the face of pure aspiration.
At noon
When I look in my mirror
I see the face of sad dissatisfaction.
In the evening
When I look in my mirror
I see that I am totally lost.
At night
When I look in my mirror
I see my broken heart
Replaced by God’s Heart of Determination,
And my sunken face
Replaced by God’s Perfection-Grace.
