TATTOO

Friends; it's time to bare it all... who's got one? Who doesn't?
I wrote this poem a long time ago... just found it in my 'past life drawer'.


Poem Artwork

In the beginning there was bare skin,
but then you committed the sin,
Leviticus had written in verse nineteen,
That the Lord forbade it!
But you want to be seen;
fully dressed or unclad
with a tattoo in black or white,
or in color, oh so bright.
It don’t matter, ain’t  No - Return
you shall take it with you to the urn.



Rebecca~


Dedicated to my dear friend Klaus. Artist and owner of  'No- Return'  tattoo studio in Germany.

Don't got one, don't want one. Sometimes i wonder when i see all these beautiful young ladies with tattoo's I can't but help and smile imagining what she will look like when she is sixty five and that skin ain't as tight as it once was.

Gee, I know a number of people who have tatoos, some nice, some small, but just not something I would do. Though I do find them interesting....

Be safe,
Karen

Yes, but in of a false sacrifice. Isaiah 44:5 say it differently. Thus, the intent is the key. God loves and appreciates beauty as long as it does not defile and there in, is the rub, as they say. Beautiful poem, simple elegance. I see depth, I see a tear of sorrow, but be not saddened, for what you speak of is not to defile, but to glorify an artist's ability, a child of God.

Rebecca, this is wonderful! Reminds me of the time my Mom and I went to Vegas...there was a girl with a rose tat on her breast - my Mom asked her - Does your Mother know you have that tattoo??? - The girl said, yes, we went together and have matching rose tats!!
I have rub on rose tattoos I show my Mom periodically...
Thanks - makes me smile...
