I look in the mirror
But I don’t see
The face that’s looking
Back at me.
I thought I would be different,
I thought the pain would show,
But as I look into the mirror,
No one would ever know.
Appearing well and healthy,
The pain locked deep inside,
I’m sure that others never see
The silent tears I’ve cried.
The longing to be so much more,
To feel my life’s a blessing,
To know that I will hear, “Well done,”
After my final testing.
I look in the mirror
But I don’t see
The face that’s looking
Back at me.

About Carol A. Penhorwood
“Blessed by pain.” That’s how Carol would describe her journey with the Lord. Her ongoing battle with fibromyalgia, a condition known for widespread pain and fatigue, was the result of an auto accident many years ago. But Carol discovered limitations and pain have put her more in touch with her heavenly Father. During her frequent periods of inactivity, she has found words coming to mind that begged to be written. Carol wants to use them as an outlet to encourage, support, and inspire others.Carol is a member of Faithwriters.com, a regular contributor to christianpoetspen.blogspot.com, and has published both in print and on-line.Carol and her husband have been married 44 years, have three grown daughters, and ten grandchildren.
