John Posey Poet Sonnet

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.

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!
