Sonnet 14 'My Heart Sees Beauty Daily Pass Me By'

My Heart sees beauty daily pass me by, And does not grieve nor stop to make lament, For I have in my Heart a single eye, That makes me know that all my love is spent Upon the One whose face I carry still, Which illness, fate and fortune cannot mar, I see her Beauty reign when she is ill, And my Heart’s bruises set a higher bar. I must learn how Love tenderly caresses The face of pain, disfigured by estate. I must find my way up out of the ditches And never curse, but bravely bear Heart’s fate. For I have seen the throne of Beauty reign, It has done so before, and will again. January 2, 2019

I knew about it Andrew. It is sad he would not take credit for his work, but he may have valued his privacy more.
