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. Written August 5, 2012

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! ;)
