Its Not What You Think

I see you in my mirror, Youve been there since my youth You always stood out for all to see I could never hide thst truth. They have questioned me for ages About how long youve been with me That now i take you for granted And your existance doesnt bother me Sometimes i wonder if you add to my character Sometimes i feel your just a stain Sometimes i feel like removing you But i think it will cause me pain I think that i should just accept you And over time the love will grow And when i see you in my mirror I will adore that freckle on my nose.

We are all special in our own different ways. This reminded me of my Two Grey Hairs Of Wisdom poem... Brought me a smile. :o) And thank you for stopping by my page. It's always a pleasure to read your kind comments, and your wonderful writes. Many blessings! To you...And your freckle. Ha-ha...
