Mind Over Matter

eyes smiling--  
lips conveying approval
mind thinks not....

Caryl, about that word Benched, I rewrote one of my lines and must have forgotten to remove benched and substitute the correct word that I changed it for inside the poem. thanks for pointing that out to me. I'm sure I still used the right word count. I just forgot to show what word was replaced. I looked in a dictionary and saw that benched was a baseball term , not football. hahaha. Just like my poem said, using things I know little about to describe what I know even less about life!
