skin

While riding on the metro a few days ago, the thoughts for this short poem ran through my mind:

skin

sometimes we’re so eager to get out of our own skin,
to be someone else
to cease the stares from others
to be relieved from continual and nagging problems
that we forget there’s someone whose greatest desire is to enter our skin with us
if He loves to be within this skin
then maybe we should too

Love this poem Luke! Do you care if I share it on Dallas Gatlin's website? We enjoy swapping poetry there, and this one is particularly fitting with our class discussion now. Nicely done.
