LOOKING BEYOND LOOKS

20/20 VISION

I do not wear glasses
or need aids to see
close or far; I have
20/20 vision, day and night.
WHEN
I'm proudly walking
hand-in-hand with you,
some rude or unthinking people
tend to stare as they look
at the scar on your face
received in an auto accident.
HONESTLY,
from the first time I
saw you after surgery
in my office, honestly
I was captivated by your
beauty, the facial yes,
BUT,
by the deeper beauty in
your soul that transcended
the outward that changes,
ages, and paints a new
outward appearance
as we age day-by-day;
which betrays the once
outward "beauty" which
is only skin deep and taking
us from one birthday to the next.
OH,
the beauty of your soul,
spirit, mind, and heart
as they continue to grow
magnificently day by day.
MY
beautiful love meet me
at the kissing place and
we'll share heartfelt beauty
and magical kisses;
NO,
I'm no beauty myself;
or shall I say handsome?
