Glass
Transparent
for the most part
Mirrors
Reflections
hide the flaws
Cracks
Can appear
pieces don’t fall
Shatter
Unrecognisable
as part of what was
Isn’t
there
anymore

i do believe there is much more than what the glass reflects back to us…
you have to go a bit deeper to find it though…smiles…
even that shatters though….

Hi Jen, I just got back from a trip to Maryland, so I’m catching up. I love the analogy of glass to a mirror – one’s transparent, one’s reflective. You and your daughter… Love this! ❤ ~Karen~
Thank you my lovely lady,, always such kind and complimentary comments, which I appreciate greatly ❤ x
