Impressions

It's easy to impress those who know you less
Made-up face and form--of speech--above the norm
Hardly a hint or hue of the real you--
Posed glamour-shots!

It's harder to impress those who know you best,
hang onto good humor and pretense of sense
in pickely, prickly predicaments--
Unposed snapshots.

What world wonders might be wrought if the shutter
behind our shutters sought and caught live scenes of
us treating family as company?

Picture Perfect!


Families are forever part of us.  God "sets the solitary in families" for a reason.  No other setting offers such rich possibilities of nurturing, growing, developing character qualities.  Why not take a challenge to treat, listen intently to, forgive, smile at and try to favorably impress your family members as you would a VIP "important" stranger for the next week?  Could work miracles!:)
