*** Poem Release ***
*** My
Reflection ***
by 'Rusty Bourne'
When I looked down what
did I see ?
My reflection looking back at me.
But when I
smiled he did not,
as if it knew the problems I've got.
But
how could a reflection understand ?
Problems I've had from boy
to man.
A reflection is an image floating on water,
doing
nothing more than it oughta.
Then with a drip and a bit of a
splash,
my reflection stood as quick as a flash.
"Hey
me with the problems, what's all the fuss?
We look stressed,
what's wrong with us ?
We have no time to brood about here,
we
have no place for doubt or fear.
So get a grip, grow up
fast,
what's done is done, all in the past."
As quick
as that we were gone,
back to the place which we had come.
Yet
when I looked back down, what did I see ?
My reflection smiling
back at me.
