Many Faces

The Many faces people show us very from their personalities.

Some hide fear behind a mask of hatred.

Others hide sadness behind a mask of aggressiveness.

And some of us try and understand why others wear a mask.

Recently I have seen behind the masks of many.  I took a few days and took a very close look at a lot of people.... some were just folks walking down the street.

Having done so I have come to value those I love more and more.

They don't wear masks or pretend to be something they're not.

Those few I hold dear are kind and loving, caring and compassionate, and above all... loyal beyond words.  With vast differences and quirks I love everyone of them.  Each loved one is unique and precious in their own right. 

So let us live... truly live... and put the masks away.
