Who Are You? Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

Who are you? And who am I?
It depends which side we're on in the mirror
On the front is the picture we give to the world
On the back our true nature and image are clearer

I see a classy man with prowess and admirers
You see a busy man installing fixtures
On your side, you're a builder whose task is designing
But I see a man who wastes time drawing pictures

The secret of life is bring both sides together
That the part on the outside coincides with the inner
If you have sufficient to buy a suit and Berlutis
Then display love and kindness and don't worry about dinner

Love and kindness are priceless, they are virtues unrivalled
Clothes and wing-tips are pricey and worth less once they're purchased
They say, "Clothes make the man", but I think they're mistaken
On the back of the mirror the honest and faithful come first
