Looking Glass

A graceful swan in pensive tones of gray and blue provides the backdrop for this introspective poem by Dr. Gregorc:
People are my looking glass.
In some - I see my past.
    They show me lessons I have learned.
In many - I see my presence.
    They mirror my perfections and imperfections.
In others - I see my future.
    They forecast what is yet to come.
And in a few - I see where I must return.
    They reflect the lessons I have failed to learn.
