Our Personal Mask Poem by Kristin Nicole RothDavis
Our Personal Mask
When you look all around there's all kinds of people
There's those that will give you their shirt off their backs
Then there's those that will steal bubble gum off the racks
I could go on and on, but we all are aware
I just want to take a moment to show how I care!
See, I am one that never would hide behind any mask
However, while I face everyday a day with a constant reminder
Of just how well MR. BAD ASS (Cancer) doesn't bother to ask
If he take a visit or make you his personal binder!
Now that my mornings are awakened in a different kind of light
I have developed the new ability to see, a well-practiced sight
For I don't feel that I should have to put up any welcome sign
This body is still under management... it's not even really mine
So, I will have to admit that there are times I hide beind a mask
But if you'll stick around you'll be allowed to see right through
Consider it a safety precaution... a self-contious task
I want to make this crystal clear,
When you approach someone who's fragile and dear
Listen to what's being said, but more closely to what's not being said
Look within and see their inner beauty
You'll be blessed and truly touched
When your paths cross, you'll be missed very much!
When we face tribulations in life
Living every day in a constant strife
Doesn't matter if you were ever a beautiful wife
Or a Husband who was honored
What we were isn't what counts now
For we are dealt a chance to show others when to bow
When we aren't dealing with life's turmoil
We as humans, often take life for granted
What we do in this lifetime is LIVING
What we acomplish when it's all said and done is LIFE
That's the gift God is constantly giving
Knowing instantly who we once were and will eventually become
Sometimes it's easy to feel HE owes us some
For whatever reason, just trust that He has his purpose
Some day yours will come!
People may look at you like you've lost your mind
That's when you just continue to show the love that's left behind
Regardless if they'll ever admit it
You'll always be remembered as legit
So don't you dare even forget
The next time someone feels the need to hide behind a mask
If you have a heart at all... you'll ask
The man upstairs to retrieve their inner beauty
So that you may see, and put a stop to this cruelty!
