Shed Thy Skin

Like a snake in the wild I will shed my skin and leave it under a weeping willow tree for another to find.  The astonishment of leaving skin, starting anew, what a concept. Every day is a new chance to be the one that conquers challenges and has a sense of pride noticed by all you meet. Sadness can get you and your skin Itches and is raw and red. Swollen with the fury of the past that haunts you day and night. Skin, we want it soft and supple like a baby from a bath. The smell of a blossom, the look of a smooth and silky cat.  Snakes get a new chance at life figuratively and continue on with a fresh start, and new day, a change. Life is not like this lucky snake, life is an  every day challenge to fight and be a blessing to someone, a perfect stranger, a loved family  member, the love of your life. Remember what makes you happy and do something for your self each day to grace the power of love to each and every person that deserves a complement, a smile, a flower, a hug and most of all the respect of a fellow human deserving of decency. Live to love, it will help you grow old and gray.
