PICTURE YOURSELF
In what frame of mind
Do you picture yourself
Picture that tells
A whole lot of words
Is a print or masterpiece
Your claim to fame
Will it be the honor role
Or "Your Honor I was framed"
How do you picture yourself
Ain't it good to be seen
In the very best light
You'll have a warm glow
When you treat people kind
If you love what you do
And you do what is right
You'll leave all
The dark shadows behind
Is your self portrait
A self respected one
Does the essence
Of your being shine through
Can a tarnished mirror
Reveal the new you
Are you a man of your word
Or just a word for a man
How do you picture yourself
Are you all washed up
Like a watercolor
Did some one leave you
Out in the rain
You could make excuses
Till the end of time
But its up to you
To be a dream come true
How do you picture yourself
