He's Watching Me
/..but the disconcerting portion is I don't have control of what he sees.
Will he see me when I treated a stranger with kindness? or,
Will he see me when I hang up the phone from the telemarketer, annoyed and frustrayed? or,
Will he see me when I pray? or,
Will he see me when I speak unkindly about my coworkers, a boss, "those assholes in Washington"? or,
Will he see me when I play with him? or,
Will he see me when I spend all night working? or,
Will he see me when I donate to charity? or,
Will he see me when I grab that second, third glass of wine to take the edge off? or,
Will he see me when I drive cautiously to the store? or,
Will he see me when I flip that redneck off for turning in front of me?
You just never know what they'll see but they are watching you.
Consider your character in the eyes of the innocent instead of contributing to the loss of that innocence.
