The Face

THE FACE

The face that looked back at me,
The eyes that beheld what is to be,
The thoughts they invoke for me to see,
Are not all that comprises the most of me.

It challenges me though, to be more than I am.
It moves me to think thoughts beyond my ken.
The mirror gives back what is given to it.
Today may I be more than I have ever been.
