~*~

Perfection lies in
Perception of beholder.
One must therefore look,
Far beyond the obvious,
To see the jewel within.

(smiles) Yep, I am not perfect, you are not perfect, only He is, but embracing His love always makes everyone as perfect as they can possibly be! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send angel blessing hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery.

The real jewel is the ability to see the beauty of a person without the burden of judging the way they look.  James

Toe ~

Now surely you jest! I think you are actually quite handsome--especially with that fine rack on your head! Whoops! Mistaken identity. That is a picture of Balladeer in your poem about him being "Hung"--not you! Oh, well, your personality is winsome and you probably have a jocular face to go along with it!

Springtime evening hugs,

You are so right! Sometimes we have blinders covering our eyes so completely, that we don't even see the obvious staring us right in the face!

Sister hugs,
