What Do You See?
By Kathy Armijo
What do you see
When you look at me
Is it my dress
Fancy or such a mess
Perhaps, it is my hair
Stylish or not there
Maybe my smile captivates the air
However, the eyes may say, “I’m really not there”
If this all you see
You really don’t know me
Look beyond the exterior
There is much amour
I refuse to be anyone’s play toy
Yet, my heart is always full of joy
The sum of my experiences is who I am
I have strived to accept life’s program
Many times my heart has been broken
Yet, my faith it never did deaden
I am the sum of my experiences
I have made my choices
Some really great and others not so great
Always trying not to be anyone’s deadweight
I am one of many
Who has lived life proudly
My trials have been mine
Thankfully, God is always my lifeline
Know that I am another human
Who has traversed many a mountain
Longing for acceptance
Striving for patience
So, when you look at me
Look INSIDE me
Then, you’ll see me as I truly am
"I am the sum of my experiences
I have made my choices"
God Bless

I see the strength and the person that I wish I could be. Many people come and go in our lifetime. Some affect us deeply and others not. You have the manner and the personality that is so easy to love. My wife is just like you, a beautiful person inside and out. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.
I see you as a beautiful person who has had many a hard time in her life. Keep on writing; it will help you heal in the long run; that's why I write. Thank GOD you have Steve in your life, to help you during your life's journey; many people (including myself) aren't that fortunate! Very well penned; brava!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
The same question was asked by Jesus, when he went with his diciples in row boat. When they were surrounded by water, he asked them what do you see? Then every diciple answered differently and their were all right but no one was able to tell what he hoped that would already be able to see. Wery nice and well done, you are great, best regards to you and your husband Emile
nice work...
Love, Christine
Awesome poetry.

I see loveliness in personality and in verse. Don't worry about outer appearances: God doesn't, Steve doesn't. :) Excellent introspective write, well done.
