Don’t trace the lines around my eyes
To see what they have seen
Don’t touch the wrinkles on my feet
To be where they have been
Don’t feel the scars upon my flesh
To understand my pain
Look into my heart and know
I’d do it all again
Don’t trace the lines around my eyes
To see what they have seen
Don’t touch the wrinkles on my feet
To be where they have been
Don’t feel the scars upon my flesh
To understand my pain
Look into my heart and know
I’d do it all again

Sorry Cyranny …. I stole one back that I’d given you. Very rude of me.

Beautiful piece, very emotional and sensuous. The brevity works well. Abs message at the end is living without regrets. Awesome.

Somebody else noticed this little poem recently and so I was drawn back to your lovely comment – which I had not acknowledged. I am frequently staggered by the kindness of others. Thank you

Brutus, I just came across this poem as a result of reading your recently posted replies in the Comment section.
I have taken the liberty of reposting it on my blog. I didn’t want to do the normal reblog as I had several comments I wanted to make about your work. I’m trusting you have no objections, but if you do, please email me and I’ll remove the post or make any changes you request.
Thanks in advance.
