We must keep on trying

confront your image
don't hide behind a mirror
in fool's paradise

when we close our eyes
we may be blind to the world
not our conscience

spare for your own sake
a moment in solitude
for self appraisal

may good deeds prevail
over evils of the bygone
at each dawning day

smile at your image
feel good to be alive
which is a blessing
