FACES
There are faces in the schoolyard
There are faces in the street
There are faces on the people
That you perchance to meet
There are faces that are grumpy
There are faces that are cute
There are faces on the morning train
The daily work commute
There are faces on the billboard
There are faces on the screen
There are faces black and brindle
And every shade between
There are faces in the cities
There are faces in the towns
Painted faces of the ladies
Painted faces of the clowns
There's a million billion faces
Which must give me pause;
I'll never live to see a face
As beautiful as yours

Well done Allan. enjoyed your poem.

Duncan.

I expected it to finish

"I'll never live to see a face
that's uglier than yours "


sorry

It could always have an alternative ending, Neville

Thanks Duncan and Neville. Much appreciated.

Allan
