Comment from Samuel Dickens
I think grandmothers must have special vision. Then again, it may be that they see more with their hearts than their eyes. Do you suppose? Very nice writing, Beth.

Thank you Samuel, I appreciate the review and comments. I'm sorry this one didn't have member dollars any more but I'm glad you decided to read it anyway. I think grandmothers do see with their hearts.

Comment from EMB
LOL Yep. Your picture says it all, but you do a pretty good job backing it up with this poem. I wonder what I'll have to tolerate when my kids get older. It's a scary thought. :)

Thank Edward, I appreciate the review and comments. We all have to deal with those strange idea kids get about what seems right for them. As a teacher, you're probably better prepared that most of us.

When I opened to your post, I laughed like hell at the picture. Priceless!
What a smooth flow and cadence, each stanza blending into the next so effortlessly as was the rhyming in each stanza between the second and fourth lines,
Well done!
Take care,
Ray

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Your poem speaks volumes about being tolerant of others. Sometimes it's hard to do, but we must love the inside, not their appearance. After having raised 4 boys, I remind my friends still raising their children, "You must love them through it."

Comment from Evelyn Fort Stewart
We were doing a fundraiser at Wal-Marts yesterday and a young lady with two small children was sporting bright pink hair. I'd rather them do that than mess with drugs alcohol so cheers for the pink hair. Yes, we love them unconditionally. Very good piece and the picture is priceless. God loves you and I do too.

Thank you Evelyn. I really appreciate your review and your nice comments. I agree with you. Pink hair beats drugs hands down.

Comment from alexgeorge
Oh my word, the look on her face is priceless!
Ooooh, that's so touching. Looking into his eyes she finally recognises Tommy. It's strange but we had a few punks at Uni and I've met my fair share of weirdos. Thank God for them. Some are really cool guys and girls who just want to have fun while their young and relax.

I love the look on her face too. I appreciate the review and comments and I'm so glad you liked the poem. Yes, it is what is inside the person that counts. To use a cliche, don't judge a book by the cover. Thanks so much.

Comment from Hawaiian Mermaid
Aloha from Hawaii BethShelby,
I really like your poem and the photo is perfect. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day. You inspired me to write this...
Hair looking like a flair
Or purple and pink hair
Who should really care
If there's love to share
Aloha, Ginger

Thank you so much for the review and comments. I'm glad you liked the humor. If I add the slick it will mess up the syllable count of 8-6-8-6. I did get rid of one of the ands however.

Comment from Quillian
Wonderful poem, wonderful message.I love the line 'he didn't look like anyone with DNA she shared". But the very best is 'and not what my eyes see'. Photo is perfect!
