Public opinion about you
May be guesses who you are,
Your opinion about yourself
May be deceptive and untrue.
The mirror may tell your physical,
The people may know your physical,
You may personally describe yourself,
But God knows truly who you are.
What or who you are
Is the gland total of
Your physical and open practice
And your hidden and secret practice
Self-conquering and self-cautioning
Are potent forces of saving self
From the painful injuries of life.
But God knows truly who you are.
