Own Your Beauty

Own Your Beauty I’ve known of your beauty for years Through consummate joy and rivers of tears We’ve been down some roads that others have trod In search of His favor, the blessings of God. Doubt may sometimes cloud your mind And sometimes life may seem so unkind So, you may not see the beauty I see Though why will always be a mystery to me. Together, we’ll fight for what we call ours Through winter storms and summertime showers. I see some things that others might miss So I walk around in total bliss. So, own your beauty and know who you are. In my loving heart, you're always a star. Written By John Posey 9/13/14

Beautiful sonnet, John! Great message and flowing rhyme! I haven't been on the Soup in over a year and I see so many people commenting wondering where I am... I feel bad to have left everyone in the dark... :( I wish to keep up and check back on it at least once every few days!

This one, like many others, was inspired by 58 years of marriage. Just reflection on those years made it easy to write..... Regards .. Jake
