Less Gray

Trying to make up my mind, should I or shouldn't I, less or more, lets see what is in store...

Less Gray…


 


Gray I have a lot,


On my beard, in my hair,


Wonder if I should color it or not,


Your opinion would be of great value, so start to jot…


 


Not trying to look younger,


I am in no way vain,


Will it wash away during a heavy rain?


Or will it present for me maybe a bit less strain?


 


Mostly it is in my beard, at the bottom of my chin,


It does not present a problem nor is it in any way a sin,


I was just thinking if I could change it a bit,


Make myself more presentable, rather than looking like s**t…


 


Thanks herein for your opinions,


Would appreciate them from anywhere they come from,


Even if you are a resident of the dominion,


Where you are called a Virginian,


All opinions accepted from the masses and the minions…

I think grey is terribly sexy on a man and so go with the flow Ed. This is advice from deepest darkest Africa. Does that count for anything? lol

Just taking a break from my yard sale. I've decided to go natural, since last September when I cut all the ugly colors off my hair. I like it, even though I've got quite a big of gray streaks. I heard that "natural" is in style now.

Well Ed, I've shaved off all of my hair so I can't tell if it is gray. I don't know if you want to go that far. Thanks for the humor. Love and peace. Regis

I don't mind the gray hair, actually, Ed...it shows that I am still alive. When Karla and I were born 45 years ago, we were both not expected to live, me especially, but by the Grace of God, here we be 45 years later! That is why I am not ashamed of my gray hairs that are poppin' up like rabbits! LOL Cute write!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

If you like it, keep it. If for some reason you don't, change it. If you really think it makes you look like $#it, change it... Only knowing you from what you write, I think you're an interesting guy on the inside, and to me, that's what’s important.

Eddie M... you are a cutie! and in my world, that goes for the inside as well as the outside. For some, gray is a testament to each day lived and its trials an errors... for others', it becomes a superficial fear of aging... in the end, you will do as you most see fit. On the other hand, I'd say, since it's on your mind and since we are our own "canvas", paint yourself something new: May I recommend a nice shade of chartreuse? lime green, perhaps? Aha! that's it!! a rainbow beard. (Can beards be tie-died?) hehe... Your beard does not your innards define. Have fun with it. (personally, I am "worth it" and have no qualms about ensuring that I "remain" a natural blonde.. (giggle). katy xox. p.s. what's Rufuz' opinion?
