Self Portrait

to see the truth of love divine,
just look to your left and a little behind...

you'll see yourself as others do,
a face turned to the side and a little blue...

tilt your chin and look up high,
grace the face of heavens sky...

no one else will love as you,
an inner peace, fresh and new...
