Reflect Insight

Look to yourself for what is wrong,

For what you had and what is gone.

It’s you yourself that made it so,

And only you can really know.

You cannot fault one another for what,

You are or what you’ve done.

So take the time, to figure out

The tiny fears that cause you doubt.

Then turn around and you will find,

A blameless Life for peace of mind.
