What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see the kindness that radiates within my soul?
Or do you only see that I look only wrinkled and old?
Do you see the fact that I care about all of my friends?
Or do you only see that is sometimes hard for me to just bend?
Do you see the inner strength that helps me get through rough times?
Or do you only notice the etching of all of my lines?
Do you see the laughter and joy that I like to share?
Or do you only see that I am ready for the rocking chair?
Do you see the compassion that I have for those who are in pain?
Or do you simply see the weight that I know I have gained?
Do you see the passion and fire that exuberates within me?
Or do you only see the faded beauty that I used to be?
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see the person that I will never again be?
Love me for who I am now, not for who I used to be--for God made me who I am now, your friend for eternity!
Love to you always! Linda
