Beautiful Scars Poet Verse

Astounded By Your Tenderness

you may think you 
are exceedingly insignificant

but

your soul carries 
more warmth than
the sun bestows 
to the earth.

for I have been awoken by
the words spoken…by you. 

you may think I don’t
believe in you as I once did

but

your heart carries 
more affection
than an autumn day
mid-October.

for I have been satisfied and
I’m gratified…because of you. 

you encompass my very being, 
and I am astounded by your tenderness.
