Many Faces
Have you ever really looked into a person’s face?
The lines and features that time has placed
They tell a story that can never be erased
The lines, the curves, and textures weave a story
A life filled with happiness, hurts, or worries
They all may hold secrets deep inside
But on the face their stories reside
Those pesky crow’s feet, how they make me mad
But then I think of all my laughing and it makes me glad
The deep lines between my eyes, oh how I despise!
But then I realized how it formed to my surprise
The happy tears when I had my son
My wedding day, oh the fun
The biggest hugs from my granddaughter
The laughter and moments with family and friends
So many special times I will carry to my end
The saddest faces that I see
Are when people don’t smile back at me
I know they must have a hurt deep inside
A pain caused from life that makes them hide
So I figured the best thing that I can do
Is smile bright and say, “hello, how are you?”
If I’m lucky that frown will turn into a smile
I’ll see a twinkle in their eye, even if it’s only for a little while
So next time you see a stranger with a sad face
Give them a big smile that time can’t erase
It only takes one person you know
To be the difference that helps them grow
So, appreciate your lines my friend
They tell your story until the end
