When My Mother Takes A Selfie


When my mother takes a selfie she doesn't think "Does this look sexy?"
She doesn't make her lips look pouty or give a sensual stare
She smiles her truest smile or shows what real emotion she is feeling

When my mother takes a selfie she gets her point across
It's not just another excuse for her to get her face out there
She really just wants you to know "Hey look what I'm doing... Look who I'm with"

When my mother takes a selfie she doesn't try all different angles
She doesn't take 21 photos and then pic the best one
She doesn't worry about if she is showing enough cleavage

Or if she has enough makeup on
Or how her outfit looks today
Or what people will think of her silver hair

When My mother takes a selfie she's not searching for attention
She doesn't look depressed and hope people will pity her
She would never post pictures of makeup running down her face so people will know when she is sad

When my mother posts a selfie she doesn't think about how beautiful she is
She doesn't revel in the fact that her girlfriends will be jealous of her looks
She doesn't care how many "likes" she will get

When my mother posts a selfie... she is just my mother, and neither of us would want her to be anyone else
