accepted

For all those long years
shyness held me down
mirror you saw me
sad face of a clown

Wanted to change it so
but it would not turn
now I see the light
and I understand you

You accept me
don't reject me
oh how high your love

You forgive me
you help me
showing constant love

When people
misjudge me
you alone see more

My motives
my reasons
you understand them all

How good is this feeling
in the love of God
to know such truth
now I can see clearly
in mirror of your face

So thank lord thank you
wish that others saw it too
the love you have
amazing love
all honor and praise to you.

Beautiful poem Serpico

So many people try to make them selves better turning too botox plastic surgery but it really don't matter what the mirror's reflection is cause the greatest love of all comes from above. we as humans are so self indulging. this poem reminds us that don't matter what or who we are God's love love's us cause we are what he made us too be.

hi kickit..yes so many are affected by how others view them..easy to do that too
but seeing God made us and views us with love, mercy grace and forgiveness..accepts us when we are in christ..when maybe lots dont..
acceptance this way means just as we are..no botox..no makeovers..no self improvement plans..thanks for the thoughtful comments..thumbs up
