Who's that in the reflection staring back?
Surely not me
No, of course not!
That is the face of a liar and coward
Those sagging eyes are not my own
My eyes are bright and send my love
The mirror shows sockets of hateful and judging gazes
They do not belong on my pure face
That big mouth never tasted my jaw
My lips raise people up who are down and do not slander as those do
The mirror shows thin lips that have lied and deceived many
They do not belong on my pure face
That large nose never smelled my food
My nose smells flowers and filters out odors
The mirror shows a nose that sniffs down revenge
No, that would not even fit on my pure face
Those pointy ears never heard my name called
My ears listen to positive messages and God's word
The mirror shows two ears that perk up to gossip
They do not belong on my pure face
Those dirty, stained hands never felt my skin
My hands are clean and bring help to the needy
The mirror shows hands that hunger to strike and hit flesh
Thos do not belong to me
For I shine and bring light
I do not possess any of these reflected flaws
Therefore, I am of course, not shown in that glass
That body is surely not mine
No
Of course not
