See through me
I keep beauty, strength, and resilience
Wrapped around my arm
I see grace, love, and motherhood
Dancing in a smile
I see the scars on her soul
And the pain of her past
The tears behind the laugh
I hear her witty charm
Hiding behind shyness.
Guarded but not cynical
Sincere and unabashed
And yet leaving space for others misfortune and fault.
Her courage upstages her fear
Her strength upends her hurt
Love overwhelms disdain.
She is confident what is right and wrong
And yet does not judge.
I see love dancing on a laughter guilded soul
And she is beautiful.
