If only I could hang it
on a tree to admire amidst
the twinkling lights.


[But only for a time.]


I wish I could find it
in some unexpected place
like a hide and seek game.


[What if I lose it?]


Maybe I could dress it up
for a day in rose petals
and a fancy outfit.


[I like it the way it is.]


Instead, I'll leave it permanent
on my face to someone
who might be able to see its beauty.
