The many faces from many places
What do they say?
The lines and wrinkles their eyes seem to twinkle
They are always so far away

The things they say of themselves
are they their own self perception
or hidden thoughts of deception?

It is said a tree is known by its fruit
A flower known by its scent
Though there are many flowers
that appear to us as beautiful
and cute
Not everything one sees is not
with true intent

How often we want to believe
but we often are deceived
There is but one truth we all hold
so dear
We are sometimes full of doubt and fear

Trust must be earned
and love must be learned
its all we have to avoid getting burned

Yet, do consider that all our life's lessons
and human intercessions
brings us nearer to understanding the God we dance to
Regrets of the past and fear of the future only
tend to lead us to the road of depression

We are all searching for ourselves through the reflection
of others
We are by nature sisters and brothers
Only fools choose to bring harm
by the misuse of their charm

The many faces pretty and sad
Some happy and some perhaps mad
Beyond the masks we wear lies the truth
somewhere
Yet, to be honest nobody is that much
greater or less than another
we all have our burdens to share
some unfortunately may not even care

If we find but one true friend to walk
with us to the end
we can say we have a great treasure
hence embrace them with pleasure
but, learn to set them free
for they will love you for all eternity
