Just an illusion.

I see faces in the clouds And curtains and the walls I see faces in the trees And the leaves before they fall I look into the mirror And this is what I see A face they call a failure Looking back at me. I told my mother what I had seen The the mirror clouds and curtains And the leaves upon the trees. Her words were wise as always She turned and said to me Believe nothing that you hear And only half of what you see.

Wise is the mother that warms your heart.
Hold her and consul her to never part.
Thank you for the read

These wise sayings from our mothers, are pearls of wisdom that we should treasure and pass on to the next generation, very well written Christopher.

Thanks alot George. A women showed me a photograph of what she thought was a face in the
Clouds I feel bad now thinking back but i said to her its just an illusion.
So that's how this poem came about.

This is great Christopher, certainly not a failure.
And as others have said mothers are very wise.
