I Wonder

If I could stand beside myself, And see what others see, And then look deep within my heart, And guage it honestly, I wonder how I'd see myself, I wonder how I'd feel, To meet the "Me" that others meet, And feel the way they feel. For New Or Old Poem Contest by John Freeman

Hmmmm! Wouldn't it be fun to be able to know what others think. I've always loved to watch people and their reactions to me. Usually they get it all wrong. Have you ever noticed how if there are two ways to take something most people will take it in the most unattractive sense? Glad you enjoyed this one my friend. God bless, JB
