THE MIRROR THING


by Rusty Cason



These words I wrote to ease my pain,

My spirit felt contrite.

I tried to show my better side,

With all my worldly might.


Instead of sharing from the heart,

In each and every way.

I shared with those I love the most

My stress from work each day.


My family loved me just the same,

Even my ugly side.

They tolerated angriness

That made them want to hide.


While sadness was my only friend

outside my family life.

My anger and frustration flowed

On both my kids and wife.


One day I sat and thought about

My sad and angry state.

In overwhelming guilt I knew

That change would be my fate.


I gave my life to God that day,

He helped me learn control.

Then loves true meaning came to me

It shines throughout my soul.


A mirror hangs on my front door

I see my face each day.

It makes me think about myself

And how I want to stay.


Is your life filled with emptiness

Is sadness what you bring?

I recommend you seek the Lord,

Then do the mirror thing.
