WHAT DEFINES YOU TO ME

1/1/2014

I don't care about how much wealth you've amassed 
I don't care about the size of your house 
Or by the kind of car in your garage 
Sure, all these possesions are great 
And are meant to be enjoyed when you've worked so hard to earn them
I so admire  beautiful things just like the next person
But it is not what defines you to me nor should they define me to you

What defines you to me
Is the beautiful spirit I see through your  eyes
The smile between your ears
The thoughts behind your kind words
The motivation that fuels your actions
The flame I see flickering within you

The hope and aspirations you once  harboured
The new ones that you now embrace
The uncertainties that surface in your mind again and again
And then your resilience to push  them aside again and again
That allows you each mornin
To swing your legs over the side of your bed
To do it all over again

The love I see you deposit in someone's else pocket
The words you say to release someone else's spirit
The hand you extend to some lonely lost being
Knowing that we all feel lost at some point or another
And then your own  receiving heart  that also allows you 
To pocket some lovin others may extend you
When you yourself are feeling like you're in a pit

All these things define the real Beautiful You to me
And yes, wow, I do see so many beautiful spirits
About me everywhere I go...........
