'mirror'

When I look in the mirror I see Imperfection but I also see beauty God's handywork in progress He chose every part of me it's my choice to love what He has blessed me with These grey hairs they are counted by the Master These hazel eyes that needs a little help to see far, were meticulously chosen just for me There is even a line that some would suggest I smile to hide it; in between my eyes But it is what defines me They sometimes say I am looking more and more like my mom Not sure if that is a good thing But I am me Still learning, still growing In between all the flaws and mistakes I have made God somehow chose every part and said it's a perfect mould we don't need another sample How can I not love what I see in the mirror? ©wilmaneels ©24012022

I’m a little bit insecure about my appearance, but still learning how to love myself. Another wonderful poem Wilma!

Marvel dear poet, Jehovah God Almighty wants you to be filled with amazement, with all uv His Creations! Sorry Rico, God gave us the gift to create, and that mirror wasn't to observe the other ;) much luv Wilma, james

Lose the mirror and be happy! My mother hated the "crows feet" she saw in the mirror, but we saw them as "laugh lines"! Aloha!
