The way you see

From Ladies Pass it On

CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE

I don't have crow's feet.

I have happy happy memories of laughing with friends

until the tears flowed.

I don't have frown lines,

I have the marks of my frustration and confusion, which I

battled through, smiling in the end.

I am not going grey,

I have shimmering highlights of wisdom, dashed

throughout my silver hair.

I don't have scars,

I have symbols of the strength I was able to find, when

life got tough.

I don't have stretch marks,

I have the marks of growth and the marks of

motherhood. My womanly evolution.

I am not fat,

I bear the evidence of a life filled with abundance,

blessings and good times.

I am not just forgetful,

I have a mind so full of stories, memories and moments

there is scarce room to hold much else.

I am not old,

I am blessed, with a life of great length, something

not everyone can say.

Don't change the way you look my friend,

change the way you see,

change the way you see.
