Looking in the mirror, Can’t tell what she sees in me Though I try to understand, I still find it hard to believe That she lays down her trust, And opens up her heart for me Though I know not why I have in my life someone so sweet I’ll never lose my imperfections, I might even gain a few But, because she loves me, I’ll love her that way too And I, with all my imperfections, Of body, mind and soul Still receive a forgiving love That will be there when I grow old I want to see as she does To feel as she does, To find out why she loves me, Loves me just because |

PK~ you shouldn't question love when it is given to you....it's a rare and precious thing to be given unconditional love I thank God every day for my husband's love, and try not to wonder why he does....I'm just happy he does! I liked this very much |

PK...No one is perfect, least of all ourselves...love is the best, when it loves no matter what. |

Looking in the mirror, Can’t tell what she sees in me Though I try to understand, I still find it hard to believe That she lays down her trust, And opens up her heart for me ================================== ============================ But, because she loves me, I’ll love her that way too And I, with all my imperfections, Of body, mind and soul Still receive a forgiving love That will be there when I grow old I want to see as she does To feel as she does, To find out why she loves me, Loves me just because ================================ Im seeing a whole lot of perfection perfect cadence and rhyme perfect poetic intend perfect poetry from you pen ( biased? me?) LOL if we are fortunate, sometimes we can see ourselves thru the eyes of those who love us... hopefully we can learn to enjoy the view (same goes for seeing our poetry thru anothers eyes) *S* |

I’ll never lose my imperfections, I might even gain a few But, because she loves me, I’ll love her that way too This is how it should be and you found it. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
