Stranger In A Mirror

They say we all have our own doubles ,

today I saw mine ,

I saw him in the park ,

I saw him in the mall ,

and I saw him when he followed me home.

The last place I saw him was in the mirror.

"Who are you?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"What do you want?"

"I want everything  you have."

"Go away."

I picked up a knife ,

and as the shock and surprise dawned in my eyes ,

I then realized it wasn't a stranger I was going to kill ,

it was me.

I never saw him again.

A Mother's Touch

A mother's touch is soft ,

a mother's touch is gentle ,

a mother's touch is sweet ,

a mother's touch is sensitive ,

a mother's touch is peaceful ,

a mother's touch is innocent ,

a mother's touch is soothing ,

a mother's touch is healing ,

a mother's touch is all of these and so much more ,

but most of all ,

a mother's touch is loving.
