Ever Time I Look In Thee Mirror (Original Version)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
Every Time I Look In The Mirror (Original Version)
Every time I look in thee, mirror,
I’m afraid of what I see.
The image which is reflecting back,
Bears no resemblance of me.
Could it be some subconscious process,
Running along on its course,
Trying to find the solution to,
Some uncontrollable force?
And if by chance it happens to find,
That which it has been seeking.
Would the realization bring joy
And cause my heart to sing?
The truth to the matter is simple,
When I get down to the fact,
Every time I look in thee mirror,
My self knows it’s you I lack

About this poem
Yeah…This one was written when I used punctuation and before I found my signet seal and my promotion…As IF such a thing really happened…
