Understanding Beauty

Your Father
Looks unto you,
His precious daughter,
And calls you
Beautiful
You're the apple
Of His eye,
The center
Of His universe
You are absolutely loved
And incomparably so.

Yet you doubt yourself
And you shy away
You question your
Heart's motivations
But maybe that's why
Beauty exudes forth
From your spirit
You don't boast
In your appearance
You don't care
To draw attention
You're content knowing
That everything
Will be okay.

And maybe that's why
One can't help himself
But fall for your
Cascading grace
He'll get more
Than he'll ever see
For your spirit is where
Your beauty lies.

Your modesty breaks the proudest heart
So now, consider this heart broken.

A Lover's Pledge

"I want to
Hold your face
In my hands,
Gaze into your eyes
And tell you
That I love you,
Tell you that
You're beautiful,
Affirm you
And confirm you
In everything
You do,
Tell you that
Though the world
May fail you,
I'll do my best
To protect you,
Share my life
With you,
Cherish you
And adore you,
Forget my worries
When I'm with you,
And love you
Like I've never
Loved anyone before.

I want to
Do all this
And more, love,
So take my hand
And follow me,
I promise I will
Do my best to
Never let you down."

Seconds

Seconds
That's all the time
We gave ourselves
And it was enough,
Enough for hellos,
No goodbyes,
Not quite yet
This is but
The beginning...
