In My Own Mind...

In my own mind…

I often notice how I see things differently….

I see myself still young and lovely as I once was… long ago…

Not noticing the extra pounds, the beginning wrinkles…

In my mind... time knows no bounds...

In my mind, my daughters are the sweet innocent children I fight to protect

They are the ones that snuggle close to me at night

And laughingly play with me during the day

Ever sweet smiles of love and innocence

I still know myself to be the person I have always been

In my mind I am the inquisitive, clever girl with the bounce and skip

My heart is brave and my body strong…

My soul is restless but also gentle and kind

When I close my eyes it is all so very clear to me

The way things are, the way I have grown

Some people see me as old….

Some people see me as … outdated

But here in my mind, I know...

I am the noble beauty I have always been

The smart, intelligent witty gal

The questionable quirky sense of humor

I sometimes see myself mirrored in others eyes

They see me for who I am… beneath 

and it is then I know… it was not my imagination

….or in my own mind…
