Impressions
by
LouReeves


First impressions are important,
To that, I sometimes agree,
Yet there are second impressions,
That mean so much to me.

Sometimes there are facades,
To break or get behind,
And there at times discover,
A woman of a different kind.

But I know what can be lost,
If an interest does exist,
And this can be found,
If the eyes do not resist.

I often think of an incident,
Years have passed since that day,
Of a young girl in tattered clothes,
And not a word did I say.

I was immature and rather shy,
And regret has been the cost.
She was a student with a mind,
And often I wonder what I had lost.

So with eyes and the mind,
Second impressions are there,
For me to study and conclude,
Her worth for further prayer.

Thus friends I have,
Through impressions gained,
With which I have proceeded,
Feeling little constrained.

And that is life, as people meet,
Engulfed in impressions are they,
And through time, they do learn,
If a friendship is there to stay.
