9. Lu's Best Feature

May 25, 2004 6:30pm

I asked my friend this afternoon as I gazed into my reflection,

What she thought of what I saw she said,

"Images are usually misconceptions",

I started putting down my appearance, wishing I were thinner or taller,

She looked at me with understanding eyes and said,

"Superficial wishes only make you smaller."

I knew she was right but who was she to talk for she was every guys dream,

I tried to point this out to her and she replied,

"Appearances aren't always what they seem",

"Tell me five things you admire about yourself" She requested,

And I knew my troubles had just begun,

For I saw the hurt in her expression when I couldn't think of even one,

I couldn't think of a single feature I liked,

And I could feel my stomach slowly start to sink,

So I turned to my friend and simply replied,

"Well what do you think?"

"I think your looking at it all wrong" She said, " And I wish I could make it clearer it's what's inside that really counts not what you see in the mirror. You're the most loving person I know and I hate to see you fall apart. If you ask me what your best feature is your best feature is your heart."
