My Flaws Indeed Vs My Flawless Breed
My Flaws Indeed
My nose is too flat, I have a double chin
I am not sure when face wrinkles started to win
My hair is curly, sometimes a frizzy mess
A hand -held blow dryer is some days useless
One leg is too short from a knee alternate
It takes a great effort to walk really straight
I have high arches, I cannot wear high heels
Nor can I wear a dress, without curve appeals
Cancer diagnosis left me, half a whole
Why could it not have been my largest black mole
I could go on and confess all of my flaws
What the heck, I drew the shortest of the straws
--------------------------------------------------------------
My Flawless Breed
My smile is genuine, still have all my teeth
To my family, genes I hope to bequeath
My hearing is still good for all that it is worth
But it was much better, at my precious birth
My eyes see very well since I had R K
Once saw a foot, now I see a mile away
A sense of humor I do have plenty of
I plan on sharing, with all the ones I love
My heart is big enough to catch love to hold
And strong enough until I get extremely old
My talents are many just to name a few
Most of all I treasure everything I do
