I Have Seen You

Poem in honor of valentine's day

I HAVE SEEN YOU

 

I have seen you in the mornings,

Just before the dawn.

I have seen you with your hair uncombed,

Before the makeup has gone on.

 

I have remembered every wrinkle,

And the creases of your smile.

So don't feel uncomfortable,

If I stare at you a while.

 

Don't worry about your body,

Don't fret about your flaws,

For each and every one of them,

Had such a noble cause.

 

Each wrinkle tells a story,

About our path upon the earth.

The stretch marks are a reminder,

Of the fact you've given birth.

 

So don't worry you aren't a Barbie doll,

Or shiny like new chrome.

I have given you my possessions,

You have given me a home.
