For Lauran…

(photo of me)

This is the face of someone who’s been hurt.

This face sheds tears on a regular basis w the thought of Mom being deceased now almost four years.

This same face hides fears behind a smile; hides disdain behind a laugh; hides disappointment behind closed eyes.

This is the face of someone who is sensitive, strong, careful, yet searching for peace.

This face is attached to a person who loves like none other, and does it on purpose.

One thing about the person who owns this face…there are no regrets. Life is not a regret; the heart has no regrets; no REGRETS.

This face is mine; and whether the next person loves me or not, I love this “face”.
