Too many frowns
have webbed my face,
I'm marked by too much laughter.
A wicked imp resides in me
and dances tracks across my skin.
If I had spent these years
unmoved by my own folly,
what lies my photograph could tell!

and such is the way of age

I've got laugh lines at 34 years old and can't understand why because life hasn't always been hilarious and I don't like to smile much

I have a bit of an imp in me as well..
best to have these lines from laughing rather than frowing.
Love this..
Hugs~

Passing Shadows- With these Indian wrinkles, you'd think I'm 80. Why did I inherit Mom's wrinkles? Why couldn't I have inherited her trim figure, or her energy?

Enchantress: Thanks.  I've noticed that I laugh at myself as much or more than anyone else.  

Marge: How long did your nose grow from that one, girl?

that little imp you have has a sibling residing in me! though the lines have yet to form, my heart is certainly well marked with the laughter i have created to make life more enjoyable.....Laughing is beautiful, and any face marked by it is beautiful as well...and Marge said so too!

When I smile, my wrinkles are much more apparent.  Yet...all my friends make me laugh, just so they could count them, I swear.  Just like you did now!

Sooo?  I prefer to think of them as wiselines...

Send me a pic...

I've seen that face too, it's not surprising there are wrinkles because I've seen the laughter spill out of your eyes and dance across your face. :P

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

You guys are much nicer to me than the mirror.  Thanks!
