Within a hair

sorenbarrett

A beard grows form our nose to our toes, in it past life
One's past on one's face is no disgrace but remnants of joy and strife
Life or hair treated with care tells who we are
Hairs like feathered plume if it we groom seldom looks bizarre
If each strand we understand it becomes not a mask
Hair on your chin is no sin would you take Jesus to task?

    We are each different and unique none better than the other, I love the message in this dearest sorrenbarret, we should all learn to just live in a place within ourselves and on the outer shell that brings us peace acceptance and pride. 🌹

      My reading of this today takes me to the thought of conscientious living through decades being true to self as hair takes time to grow and requires maintenance to keep it durable for years and may even crown our appearance 🙏🏻🕊️

              Bearded and moustachioed myself, I have no choice but to agree wholeheartedly with your poem - haha! A well groomed passage of poetry with a gem of an ending.

              All the best,
              Tony.

                A wonderful poem that, as I read it, is sending the message that each of us are unique...and should be comfortable in our own "beards" so-to-speak. Really enjoyed. A fave from me. 🧔‍♂️ 🌹👏

                    Good write SB. I tried the Jesus reference on Linda once. Didn't work. She said when you can walk on water you can have a beard.

                            So true just like nails cells that were once alive now worn as a dead part of us. Glad you caught this. Thanks so much for the read and comment it is most appreciated.
