Her old face was wrinkled and disgusting I did not hear a word she was telling me Because she had a crumb hanging onto her lip Waiting to be blown onto my face
However something about her intrigued me Like a troll that was holding a flower There is nothing beautiful about a troll holding a flower Nonetheless I would be interested in why he was holding it
Three days later I thought back to that wrinkled old lady And what I saw in my mind was quite disturbing Her face was a marbled statue Her wrinkles, which originally signified ugliness, Now only added character and wisdom
I could not even see the crumb of food on her lip To this day I carry her in my mind And will one day paint her beautiful wrinkles On a sidewalk in heaven While Jesus and everyone else gather around To watch me paint
