Unlovely

UNLOVELY unlovely, even ugly — looks like a brown hand is sculpted to side of his face. i admit it, had to say a prayer. yet, his voice was the same, as any other. i had to rely on mind over matter. this dear soul will remain with me; so afraid of mankind that differs from us. yet he was heaven sent, i know this and i’m blessed, that today he asked for my help, and i stayed by his side attentively. God bless the unlovely; one day, i shall meet this man in paradise, with the face of a beautiful man and i’ll cry. . . i know i will. 8/8/2019

It is a gorgeous being who can see past the imperfections that cause us to look strange or difference and see our soul. Your poem has reminded us why the outside appearance is not important.

Our minds want to betray us...not seeing to what us is normal but we must push on.
