To See Ourselves as Others See Us...

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How long will it take you to realize that, to me, you're...   ...tall enough...     The physical and inner strength you possess       makes you at least eight feet tall.   ...good-looking enough...     The character I see in your face and hear in your voice       makes you more handsome than anyone I know.       It's accented by your smile lines and laughter.   ...smart enough...     The wisdom in your advice contains a depth of thinking I envy.       Few people can ever acquire it and yet,       it comes so naturally with you. You say I'm biased.   I don't think so...     I prefer to think I'm perceptive.                   mOctober 1986 Written October 28th, 2001 © on Oct 28 2001 01:06 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
