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.
