I stood in absolute wonder <br />Looking in the mirror <br />At the big nose and crooked head, <br />Thinking it's an error. <br /> <br />The stocks seemed excess in making: <br />I had the biggest nose seen! <br />The thing was truly humongous <br />And filled the entire screen. <br /> <br />The man in me then made me stray <br />I thought I was made corrupt <br />That God had some other calling <br />And had to end abrupt. <br /> <br />Then these thoughts swiftly came to me: <br />'I'll die last in no air, <br />And on treacherous mountain trails <br />I'll smell the coming bear'. <br /> <br />Then I smiled a big smile to God, <br />My nose had a purpose. <br />It is mine and, thus it's special: <br />Unique He has made us. <br /> <br />I went from feigning to smiling <br />I was no longer blue; <br />For I am made in his likeness <br />(He has a big nose too!) <br /> <br />Even if His nose is thin and straight <br />His will is best for me, <br />Thus in him I boldly rejoice <br />And end self scrutiny. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-made-in-his-image-god-knows-best-for-me-common-measure/
