Lyra, ROTFLMBO I just remembered as a kid taking grocery bags and cutting out eyes and nose and mouth and putting our face in the bag.  But I see what you mean now. Cute write. Silly me, I thought it was a Halloween poem.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Lyra, this is a cute poem. I believe it is what is in a person heart that counts, not how they look. And, you my dear friend, have a very kind and loving heart. |

Nothing like a pick-me-up! No matter what form it may come in!---I see yours came in a bag! he he I know they say that beauty comes from the inside, and that is very true BUT it is so much fun trying to get the outside to match the inside! Even if it takes "Three bags full"! ---Now, you must excuse me--I have to go unload all those bags from the car---then I'll attempt to remove those bags from under my eyes from reading so much poetry! hehe Luvya Lyra! Linda |

I LOVE THIS! Sign me up I'm on my way to 'Needless Markup' this afternoon! All that face probably cost a fortune, but honey it's cheeper and less painful than a surgical face lift! I am saving this forever and sending it to all my friends! Fabulous, just fabulous!! Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Are you sure, my friend  that these aren't faces ON a bag? I was sure, downright positive, that you were going to make mention of the pansy faces.... Hugs to you for this one! |

This explains the expression..."I have to put my face on"...that I've heard women say...and it also explains the purse...a place to keep the spare!!! ...believe what your heart feels... |

Thank goodness no one has been able to figure out a way to makeover the human heart yet, for that would be a shame, as you've one of the loveliest ones I've seen. Much enjoyed, Lyra! *hugs* my friend. |

So this is your secret weapon, how you always face the day with a smile! Now you put a smile on my face, and I don't even own any makeup. |

Lyra, this is so cute. But, from the looks of that smile on your picture, I'll bet most of those are "smile" wrinkles...HeeHee! I've got a lot of those, too.....we'll call them that, anyway. Thanks for sharing this sweet poem with us. Love to All, Ethel |

Nice one this. As a mere male, I would add my experiences of ladies, and their makeup!!! 'Little dabs of powder, Little blobs of paint, help to make a woman look just what she aint !!!! Kind regards' John Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. |

Lyra, I too thought you were getting ready for halloween, how wrong can you be. Now for me a plain brown paper bag would do a better job of making me beautiful. (It's a good thing I am beautiful on the inside) Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Thanks so much, Dawn... I'm glad to have given you some chuckles Martie... That is so sweet of you to say, but my new face looks pretty much the same as my old face except just a little brighter and less shadowy Bill... A chipmunkologist? Whats that? Thanks for your reply  Julie... thanks so much for enjoying my poem  Noah... What a very sweet thing to say. I know that cosmetics don't really change a woman, but they sure make her feel pretty once in a while... even a chipmunk woman  |

Paul... thanks so much for your kind words Larry... A Halloween poem? Maybe I will dress up as a chipmunk this year Sue... You are right, but a little fun with cosmetics doesn't hurt, every once in a while Nan... thanks for those kind and complimentary words, but my face still looks pretty much the same, it just feels better Linda... thanks for making me laugh, It was so much fun to try to make this old bag look younger Lyra |

Virginia... thanks so much for your reply...Do you remember one of the Beatles songs about Elinor Rigby who kept her face in a jar by the door? Marti... I love Needless Markup, they have the best cosmetologists, and they are, indeed... much cheaper than a face lift Nancy... thanks so much, but there are some wrinkles there as well as sun spots and other age related anomalies... thats why I wear makeup Karilea... After I read your reply, I went back and looked at the picture and realized that it was the perfect picture for this poem because those pansies indeed, do have faces... but I've never seen a pansy with makeup.... although I have seen some with wrinkles, especially when they needed water Scorpio... thanks so much... and yes, we do put our faces on. Sometimes we will wear a 5 minute face for the supermarket, but other times a 15 minute face for a formal occasion Lyra |

Michael... They actually can make over the human heart... but only if it has a medical problem... and they don't do that at Nieman Marcus Electra... Thanks so much... at least you aren't faceless to me. I think you have a pretty one Kacy... No Makeup!!!! You must still be a "hippy chick"! That worked for me until I turned 40 and then there was lots of stuff that needed to be covered... You are a brave woman Chris... thanks so much, my face also melts in the hot summer heat Maureen... thanks so much for those very kind words... but I know that the makeup is needed Lyra |

Ethel... They probably are smile wrinkles and they also give a face character... but, as I've gotten older, I've gotten these nasty brown spots which is really why I use makeup Donna... I have just recently learned to carry a spare lipstick with me, so that after eating I don't look like a ghost  John... Thanks so much for the male point of view Keth... Now that I've met you in person, I know that you are totally wrong about that. You are very beautiful on the outside! Lyra |
