You don't have to tell how you live each day.
You don't have to say if you work or you play.
A tried, true barometer serves in the place;
However you live, it will show in your face.
The false, the deceit that you bear in your heart
Won't stay inside where it got its start;
For skin and blood are a veil of lace,
What you wear in your heart will show in your face.
If your life is unselfish, if for others you live,
It's not what you get, but it's how much you give;
If you live close to God in His infinite grace,
you don't have to tell it! It shows in your face.

I found this poem among the stories and notes my mother keeps. Her face shows the way she has lived. Understanding ; Caring & love for her family and friends; quietly praying for the problems and concerns of others; patience; kindness; Love; The fruits of the spirit!
