The Same. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

The same eyes that see you,
can also not approve.
The same tongue that speaks to you,
can also bring reprove.

The same hands that touch you,
so loving and tenderly,
can in an instant,
slap hard.
The same person you once knew,
can become a stranger
without a heart.

Life is a learning ground
and with it brings the wisdom of years.
It is mostly through action,
that we see the true fears.

The same mouth that smiles,
can quickly scowl.
The same body that hugs,
can make you cowl.

The same heart that loves
can become cold.
The same soul that burns brightly,
can be sold.

Verse: Sandra Kavanagh (c) .
