Faces

In the morning in the mirror, the first face I see I grab the towel and wash my face to see a clearer me I can see it in my face that I can face today You are beautiful I say, before I walk away Out in the world there'll be faces looking at you There are green eyes, black eyes, brown eyes and blue The laughter, the tears, the smile and frowns The vision you see looking up, the sorrow looking down From baby giggly goos To the slobbing, dripping drools From the chicken pox, the measles The swollen jaws, the mumps From the teenage growing stubbles To the acne exposing bumps The older we get we take pride in our face We know it's the first impression When we're in and out of a place From the elegant, arched eyebrows To the neatly, trimmed mustache Keeping up with our face can cost some serious cash I see a face that's deeply sadden Brought about from life's situation I see a face that's glowing all from God's new creation Facial expressions can tell a lot It tells how you are feeling, whether feeling good or not Know someone will see your face They're taking pictures with their eyes So try your best to keep a smile For expressions can't be disguised
