Typically Me, My Tapestry

T olerance to prejudice is not my style,
A bility to care for others is a deep pile,
P hysical fitness a little thread-bare - I neglect,
E ducated and outspoken are not a defect, 
S teadfast husband makes a softer side,
T hreads of family love,  my greatest pride.
R ug or art, bright colours fill your eyes -
Y outhful appearance for all to despise.

hey, here is one of yours that I had missed. this was a pleasure to see and learn a little more about you, Lee. Do you mean that you look so youthul that we would despise you for it? haha. That was how it sounded, but I think you are teasing!!

Actually it was written tongue in cheek. My Mom had good skin too, and I am often mistaken for being about 10-15 years younger than I am. I think its cause of my skin and I'm heavier, so fill out == no wrinkles! ;)
