The Image in My Heart

My specs are in my pocket, 
folded for now and safe.
My best…
perfect glasses. 
With four eyes, 
I can see…
just like a kid, again! 
Miracles are real. 

I can view the rainbow in the distance, 
God’s wonderful promise to All. 
I can gaze near as well, 
to view and truly see,
your face…
your kind face.

Yet,
every wrinkle, they are missing. 
every flaw; they are not there. 
I can only see the lines,
and soft touches, 
brushes with destiny, 
colored by faith. 

Time has drawn…
and redrawn every part, 
over all the years, 
that connect us, 
and keep us…
near to each other, 
and even closer to Him. 

You are truly beautiful to me!
