As we look in our children's faces <br />We look for little pieces of ourselves <br />Color of eyes, crooked nose <br />Freckles, dimples on bright smiles <br />Maybe kindness or a little patience <br />Thoughtfulness and compassion <br />Traits we instill hopefully <br />To those we leave behind <br /> <br />We try to see reflections of ourselves <br />Looking for the best we could have been <br />Hoping to find it in our children <br />Thinking with them, we will find redemption <br />Looking for a glimpse of the future <br />In how we will be remembered <br />Our forever is with them <br />They are our legacy.<br /><br />lola cesini<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/looking-in-mirrors/
