The Mask

Someday I'll take off
my sad mask,
and my happy face
will be revealed.
Someday soon
its bound to happen,
I pray to God
that it will.

I actually can relate, but I've gotten so used to my dour old face mask I've actually come to like it.

Now, that's up to you, dear James. Smile NOW and you will feel the change occurring. God and the Universe will collaborate!

How many masks are carried around? Too many indeed.

Well done, dear James.

Love,

When you do, I hope that you write about it.  You write about "emotions" very well.
