Beauty Or the Beast

Marked for beauty or for grossness Central chest area, just like my ancestors Which ones I won't confess, yet... I debate each year-- remove the beast? Or let the beauty live as a heritage of my family So there it resides evident centrally A pebble in the road, that leads through the valley Forgotten mostly, yet a point to greet on the journey Wish they had left me a beach front condo instead At least it is not in the center of my forehead! For the Holy Mole-y contest!!

As someone who's still sprouting moles I completely identify with this piece. Some are flat against my skin some are risen, those are the ones I hate. I struggle with having them removed because I know where they come from just like you. Thanks for making me laugh about something I really never liked about myself. Monica

Amazing, Doris. I seem to have an "inherited" mole as well. I thought this was a coincidence, but maybe there's a genetic tie. Enjoyed the humor! Love, Carolyn
