I took a selfie yesterday.
And what did it really say?
—–
My wrinkle grown skin
Sags.
My skin stretches with age
Not smiles.
Jowls threaten to enhance
This time lined face.
—-
Eyes dimmed see the effects of time,
of hope, misplaced and violent attack,
Searching through the lines, unveiled
a cause for laughter and joyful climes
and just like Mr Happy, the corners
of that kissed mouth that cradle of love,
begin to turn up. Then the set same smile
lights and the whole is the sum of the
parts of seasons, and weathers, family
and work woven
by the loving goodness of God.
