Go Ahead Touch Yourself
Yes Give Yourself A Pinch Or A Squeeze
I just realized after all these years I don't even know my own body
Unless I get a cut or a bruise my body is dressed and undressed
Unnoticed in every way
Yes on occasion more wrinkles have come to my attention
Those dark circles under my eyes in the morning seem to be permanent
The hair that use to be on my head is on vacation and isn't coming back anytime soon
These are just a few things that maybe I didn't want to see
But I realized I never really took a close look at my own hand
Look at the shape and size and the veins and the texture of my own skin
It has been years that I have really seen my body in the mirror
I know it's me and I haven't changed much or have I
Wow I have more freckles than I thought
Here it is we are all made wonderful by Gods design
Not to appreciate every unique shape of our own heads
Face, neck and arms
This might seem seem a little strange
Even for me
But I realized I don't even know me
I see the old battle scars
They just don't go away
I remember when I did that
Our bodies are always changing and if you are like me
You kind of look but don't see
Well I have noticed the scale get tipped in the wrong direction
I keep saying to myself it's only a scale
It isn't that accurate anyway
Maybe it's broken even though I know it's not
I should try to firm up those stomach muscles
Oh I remember when I was going to have those great abs
It wasn't long until I said there is always next year
The years passed by as I gained a little flab on my thighs
Yes I didn't realize my toes were so far away
It felt like another galaxy and I don't have to go there
I do know it only has one moon
As for those stiff knees rub them and their o.k.
I never noticed I have very little skin on my elbows
I'm all bone
I have few long eyebrow hairs that keep growing
They look like lobster tenicles
Out come the scissors and I trim those nose hairs
I think I have seen enough for one day
Another scar on my forehead
Where did that one come from
It looks like I have been through the battle zone
Then there are my feet
A little rough skin around my big toes
It's a callous from those darn socks that slide
Then I still have a piece of wood in my left cheek
From when I played baseball and sat on the bench
I was eleven
Another player pushed me and a splinter of wood suddenly disappeared
You know where
Never to be seen from again
Well I would like to end on a happy note
I'm still here after all these years
That deserves a clap or at least one big cheer
