Photo To The Soul

 

Your eyes will always be

a window to my soul.

For seeing myself through them

I see part of a man I never wanted to be.

Moments of weakness

can make a strong statement

for changes that need to be made.

Looking in the mirror

only shows signs of aging

but in no way reflects

one’s spiritual growth.

So I look at your photograph

as a motivator to understand

my imperfections

and make them into a positive.

I only wish I had the craftsmanship skills

to make a frame for protecting your photo

from tearing or fading,

cause a store bought one

just won’t do.

I adore when I see the heart engaged in the writing ... I see it here Dale.. little drops all laid out for our eyes to consume ...tender, vulnerable..yet there is strength..Excellent

Holy cats, that's good. I really love this piece, Dale. One of your absolute tippy top best. Thanks so much for sharing this. Really well done.

Thank you for reading and commenting, glad you really liked it.

p.s. you missed a typo editor, what am I gonna do with you?

[KAOlmsted]

I didn't miss them...I allowed them...didn't want to spoil my review ;-) I see you added the word "I" but neglected to make "ones" possessive...the question is...what would you do without me? ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I missed that on purpose to test you ;)
What would I do without you? twiddle my thumbs and count my toes.

I agree with your poem. A photo to the soul. Would something we need to hold on to and try to keep alive and strong. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
