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...
