In response to Helene’s weekly challenge What do you see ?
I look at myself in the mirror of life.
Unhappy with what I see,
A makeover is the call of the day
Lets begin, I tell myself!
To cleanse the body and soul
I learn to forgive and forget,
snip off my inflated ego ,
In the bargain realize
I have lost a few kilos.
Indulge the soul in a meditative spa
Cleaning all the grime of pride
I dab it with a layer of charity .
Choose an attire of floral sunshine
line my eyes to see good in others
highlight my face with smiles that travels miles
seal it with positive affirmations
color my lips with sweet talk
accessorize the look with loads of gratitude
perfume it with divine fragrance of prayers
put on the shoes to lead me on a righteous path.
All set,
I present myself with the gift of now.
Ah! Just love this makeover
I have gifted myself,
I bask in the compliments
life showers on me!
What a lovely makeover.

Thank you so much Balroop. I guess along with external appearance we should also focus on the beauty and growth of the mind and the soul.
