The mirror
Linda Walker 1959 (Dover)
Do I really know what it is that I see when I cast thy eye towards thee?
Do you really reflect the real me or just make thy eyes believe?
Can I trust this vision that doth appear before thee?
Or should thy tread with care and not be deceived at what you perceive?
You are thy past and thy future and therefore shall be thy guide.
You are thy image, you are thy, someone I find and someone thy hide.
In you thy must have faith to find thy inner sole, strength and pride.
With you thy must walk through life, step by step, stride by stride.
Linda walker 23/2/12.
