A Look At Myself

I never really thought about it – What is there in me? When I walk boldly down the street what do other people see? My hair is full of silver though it may seem gray to some. My eyes are brown and sparkle like the best is always yet to come. I try to always smile and greet those I know when e’er we meet. And if I can, I always hug and let them know it is a treat. My walk does not display now what once was a proud swagger. Age has brought me down a bit to where I sometimes stagger. In retirement I developed whiskers on my chin They really added character to the look of this old has-been, So if you were to ask me what there is in me to see. I would refer you to my Lord above. What He sees is all that matters to me.

You should listen to that song on Prince of Egypt called "Through Heaven's Eyes"... that last two lines reminded me very much of it! It's important to know what really matters in terms of appearances and not let others get you down. Second stanza was my favorite... a really nice image of optimism! Life is too short not to be happy methinks :)

This is one I wrote from the brighter side.... Look for "Reflection" to see one form a darker side.... Thanks for the visit.... Jake

So true, it's really only what God thinks and sees in you, and you know he loves you and has to be oh so proud of you.
