Me

Face me and...smile
Can one read love in a face?
Yes.
Is it always as simple as, "Yes"?
Of course, what do you think?
In every yes is a possibility,
In every why, wisdom
In every face...love;
sometimes buried so deep
because we think that for
a moment...something less than the tick before tock...
if we reveal our true selves
we will be scorned
or our lover questioned
or choices criticized...
but the love still shows
in the face
Smile, then
it's ok
your face won't fall off
And that sparkle you have within
will shine like a beacon
to your beloved
and then
who cares if someone else sees it or not?
You know
I know
And that, love...is enough.

Beautiful thoughts.
Reviewed by Sandie May Angel-Joyce 1/23/2009
I think our faces and our eyes are very important. They are the very first thing to meet another. When I meet others, I always looked for their faces first and then the eyes. Yes, sometimes our faces tell a lot of us, and beauty is in the eyes of the beholders.

Sandie Angel :o)
