Beyond Appearance

Yes, I adore your eyes 
Not only for their unique shade of brown 
But also for the way they see the world clearly 
Even on the cloudiest of days 

Yes, I adore your lips 
Not only for their kissable qualities 
But also for the syllables that flow from them 
Never uttering an unpleasant sound 

Yes, I adore your nose 
Not only for the cute way it flares when you laugh 
But also for the deep breathes taken in 
As we meditate on the meaning of life 

Yes, I adore your ears 
Not only for their elegance when properly adorned 
But also for being attentively attuned 
Hearing and listening with an open heart 

Yes, I adore your hips 
Not only for holding and caressing at night 
But also for bearing the Divine burden 
Of producing an carrying the next generation

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
