I watch
The younger girls

The perfect girls

Perfect hair
Perfect skin
Perfect smiles

Huddled in
Groups
Of perfection

Giggling
While the older
Men stare
And dream

My insecurities
Fly
Knowing
I am older
And not quite
As perfect
Anymore

Can I survive

And learn to live
Learn to love

In a world
Of perfection

That once was mine

So many

Years ago?





Tammy

I have never experienced that perfect stage ... I guess that leaves me less to miss ... but part of me would have liked that ... just for a moment ... to have that to miss ...


Nicely done flowerforyou

What was in some, can still be.
Yet age is true, no longer new.
Skin a bit whinkled, freckled, and cracked.
But don't ya know your hearts got your back.
You shine through, all that has changed.
Your skin is still warm, your eyes still hold mine.
YOU will never fade away, because I want you here,
Everyday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wink

Nice write....from someone who will never look old,,,

Terry,

I think it's so much harder in a womans world I think:heart:
It is, as women grow, live, and simply are,,about their looks as us MEN have made THAT happen..
So to see change through living, in ones own reflection, you see every flaw and imperfection,,,so ladies tend to be super critical of their selves,,,just MY thoughts...wink
COME-ON,,men just get old,look 9 months pregnant, show the crack of their asss and stare at ladies crutches,,,,,,WE HAVE NO SHAME,lol,lol

I have four daughters
Ages 26-16
I see me in them

As we schlep to the pool I notice
Them

Half naked and proud!

Me
Wrapped up like a Xmas present
Big hat
Bag of anti sun stuff

And I gotta laugh!:heart:

Purrr-fection for me was always the unabashed adoration of cats and ya never lose that even in their independent "ahhh, I'm lyin in the sun and I'm a happy cat, isn't this great!" looks they give ya. With people, the closest I ever could get was when I'd dress up for a party and people would exclaim, "Oh my God, I didn't recognize you!"rofl rofl rofl

Perfection is in the eyes. Perfection comes from the heart. Real perfection can not be accomplished in twenty some odd years (no offense intended to the twenty-somethings here on mingle). Perfection is what one man sees when he looks at you and nothing else.

Nice thought Davey, but that man's look is icing on the cake. You are right though in that perfection is something that's grown into and oddly enough, I don't think it's really recognized as such by the one it's seen in. Dragoness has a much better way of stating this, I think she wrote a poem about it here somewhere.
