A Face Like Yours

When I awake in the morning to get started on my day

I’m forced to look in the mirror where I come face to face

With this person who I sometimes don’t even know

At this point in life there’s not much left of me to grow

We are made perfect out of your genuine love for us

So why do I sometimes feel as if I shouldn’t make a fuss

To look nice each day that I’m allowed

Because at times I’m walking in a cloud

Not happy about my face and how it should be

I look in the mirror each day and what do I see?

It’s hard to look past my perfect “flaws”

Since I see myself and wonder the cause

As why features are shaped the way that they are

Why imperfections aren’t always barred

I know that I’m the way He created me to be

But I’m growing to realize that I have a face like your because you created me

A very inspiring poem! Yes.. He did create us to be as we are didn't He? It is sometimes very hard to remember that when we wake up in the morning and take adavantage of what He gave us. To make the best of what we have and keep moving!
