Sometimes people look at the wrong things when they need a friend.

Poem Artwork

 

I Can’t See Your Imperfections!
 
I can’t see your wrinkles, when I look at you.
I only see the sunshine, that comes shinning through.
I can’t see the age spots or the thinning hair.
I can only see a heart, of one who always cared.
 
I can’t see any imperfections, when I look at you.
I can only see the honesty, of one who is true blue.
I don’t see your body that has become old and weak.
I can only see the person, who’s been my special treat.
 
I don’t see the cane you use, when you need to get around.
I can only feel your strength, and your self-reliance abound.
No, I can’t see anything about you, that I would amend.
For if I ask God for a perfect friend, you are what he’d send.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

"...because if I ask God for a friend...you are what He would send..."
That phrase makes the wrappings of a priceless present in form of a poem dedicated to that special person.
I am lucky too, from AD God send me a few too.

This should be a greeting card, Bonnie; this poem is a beautiful work of art! How true that our imperfections mean nothing in the hearts and minds of our friends, just as their flaws mean nothing to us.

Thanks,
Jill

...your words are unblemished...of one you hold close...and to see one with acceptance and goodness...is perhaps God's definition of love.
wonderful Bonnie...
