glass is more than half full (free verse)

free verse 1 Minute

when I’m with a faithful friend
I so love who I am
seeing me
through their eyes

when I’m with my grandchildren
I’m so grateful
Seeing what they see
through their eyes

when I am with my cousin
I so love who I am
seeing me
through those eyes

But
when I see myself
through your eyes
I sometimes cringe
washed with
self-doubt & remorse

I suppose
Three out of four
aint’t so bad, eh?…

The glass is more than half full!

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com
