Very true. Only an innocent mind of poet can understand its scientific truth and beauty behind the words.

When my son was about two years old, I showed him my reflection in the mirror and said your real Mother is there.She has gone inside and I am the Mirror Mother. He believed and became afraid to come near me.It took me a while to convince him that I am his real mother.

Cute! Innocence! Yet to be familiar with the scientific truth of optical illusion!

A lovely piece of writing! A mirror gives an illusion that seems so real! Unless one understands what a mirror is, he may believe in that illusion.

An innocent mind sees and believes the optical beauty and beauty as a truth not as an optical illusion.

mirrors reflect what we do backwards- -twice the boys have thrown a ball through the window now they think they're not being done right by because the owner of the window has kept both balls instead of giving one back- -isn't that true? we all see ourselves as the ill-used one

The psychology of a child at play in this poem so beautifully potrayed. When there is a crack in the mirror, it would show one ball as two; an opitcal principle so beauyifully painted in words.

The pshychology of a child at play, so beautifully portrayed in words. An innocent mind sees the optical beauty not the illusion.
