Best Blessing

Her sweet smile is like the rising sun that brightens my heart when it is faint, like a brightly blazing star that sparks shimmer to stir my blood. Her sparkling sights are so divine; They heave hope for my dying spirit like a fully flourished moon that lights my path till break of dawn. Her pouty lips gloriously glisten; Their scarlet shine bolsters my courage; They rouse resurgence to my dying ember like a silent spell that rouses my faith. Her spotless soul is like perfection, like an exam that got no wrong. Her cheerful charm is like diamond; It beams beauty to my livid horizon. For the most precious thing of all is the treasure hidden inside her chest. She gives me hope when I'm so hopeless. She pampers me when no one cares. Truly, she is my best blessing. Being with her makes me feel serene. To be around her this yuletide season is my greatest gift of all. I don't need to look at the mirror; Seeing her makes me see my own face. She's the image of my better self; My own flesh and bone. November 17, 2022 Best Blessing Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
