i smile at people all day long young and old fat or skinny abled or disabled strange looking or plain as can be it’s all the same but when it comes to me too fat too wrinkled too old i’m full of criticism and i can hardly bear to glance into the mirror if this would be a friend confiding in me i would be appalled i would shake them and tell them they’re crazy and to snap out of it so hear me, you be my witness ~ i’m committing here and now to wear my grandmother’s ring (the most beautiful woman in the world) to remind me beauty is in the heart we should remember always that kindness is what’s beautiful and keep that earwig in our ear

Absolutely ~ and I have no problem seeing it in other people... waiting for wisdom to hit me in the head.

The truth comes spewing out of this fine poem. "Never judge a book by the cover", and surely, it's truer of a person. The outside shows the world the images of the wrong decisions we've made throughout our lives. The inside is all our Creator sees, our authentic self. Blessings, my friend. Bill

Comparing to some others here (in SP), you are not a hypocrite at all, you are an angel. You are cool and nice poet! Have a nice day lovely Line ~ AA
