Will you stop it and go away! ? <br />I can't get anything done! <br />In my eyes you seem to stay. <br /> <br />'Well... <br />Look the other way! <br />I can't change what it is you see! ' <br /> <br />That's my point, Beauty! <br />I'm just recognizing, <br />You are all over the place! <br />You've been here all the time? <br />Everywhere in my face? <br />And now that I've awakened... <br />I'd rather admire your grace. <br />Forgiving and forgetting, <br />My disgraceful attitudes <br />Accompanied by my bad taste! <br /> <br />'I thought you said, <br />You couldn't get 'anything' done? ' <br /> <br />Those selfish things I was accustomed to do. <br />Believing I alone had something to prove. <br />But now that I've discovered you... <br />And in everything you are... <br />Even things once ugly, <br />You are there in all things and in everyone! <br />I am aware of exactly what you are! <br />I'm sure what I've done can be quickly overcomed! <br />Now that you've shown me, <br />The quality of what 'you've' done! <br />Beauty I am nothing! <br />I 'see' you...and I am stunned!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
