Perhaps I'm fooled by your exterior,
(Exquisite beauty may deceive)
A beautiful heart you have, I believe.
I'm blessed with the gift to see your interior.
I sense when you are in the room
Before I see you with my eyes.
There's no deceit, my words tell no lies.
If there is more beauty in another, I know not whom.
You take away my melancholy blue.
Joy emanates from your laughter and smile.
You have character formed by trial,
A woman, exposed, open and true.
You do not hide in the hole of shame.
You have risen above your past.
In your heart is a love that will last.
I love not who you were, but who you became.

Oh I love this poem. How the beauty shines within.
You do not hide in the hole of shame.
You have risen above your past.
In your heart is a love that will last.
