Beautiful

I am beautiful Because I am seen Because you look beyond my eyes Because you read between my lies You breathe my breath You know my width and depth From me it is good you expect I am beautiful Because you forgive me Because you see beyond my scars Because you cry my tears You are faithful through all the years You put my sins far far away You listen to my heart when I pray I am beautiful Because you Love me. Because I’m Loved I’m no longer blind When I look beyond another’s pain I feel my inner turmoil wane I see too How beautiful they are Blessedly I see through my new eyes Kinder, softer, otherworldly wise.

Life altogether becomes beautiful when our sins are forgiven and our scars are healed by the understanding behavior of someone very close. It gives us new insights, one of kindness and love to see others in a kinder way and see all in a new light. Beautiful poem.

Never judge a book by it's cover, you never know what is in it's pages. I enjoyed this so much. It felt warm, affirming, honest. Such kind lines through love themed sentences.

Wow, Richard! Your poem was moving; it touched my heart. You've echoed the way my husband feels about me; he expresses it quite often. Because of him, I, too, see the world through new eyes. I admire someone who transforms their thinking and views...someone lets go of their inner turmoil and becomes more compassionate. Well done, Sir. Am faving this one, Sara
