She Stands By Me Despite My Faults
she stands by me despite my faults
when i get bashful in public, she tolerates me when i block out
she accepts me flaws and all even when i do not deserve it
she may not be the most beautiful, but that fades with time and age
her true beauty is ever present through the knowledge of herself
her only change is when she is sleeping peacefully in a slumber of quietude
for the first time i feel that i can actually be myself freely without judgement
she is the same person i met a few lifetimes and a few less pounds back
she admires me because of the simple definition of ME as i do her
as a result, we make wonderful partners of dwelling and in travel
with her i feel like i am living on vacation everyday regardless of certain inevitables
for that, i am truly grateful, and i owe every new outlook within me to her
this poem says "Thank You"....
