"Mirror"

As I look into the reflection and wonder who it is that I see, I can't help but know that the man upstairs has something amazing destined for me. Even through all of the struggles and all of the strife, No one ever said this would be easy but it's well worth the fight. With in me resides such delight to see his ultimate plans begin to take flight. So as that growing man stares back at me He has no choice but to smile and just do the next right thing. No more of the troubles of trying to survive in the streets trying to stay alive, Fighting those demons alone, being locked up or trying to find that next hard knocks come up. All I was given was just for today and for that I smile and continue to pray, no more hoping that I make it to see a better day. The day as it is given is perfect just to be able to say " I'm still above ground" and live to fight yet another day. D.P.
