True Beauty Defined



True beauty defined even time could not take away what God gave you
A vivacious soul so vivid like a work of art even da Vinci would be in awe
How dazzling you are that even heaven’s light pales in comparison to your radiance
As I sit and wonder, thinking to myself “this must have been what it felt like seeing the wonders of the world for the first time”
And even that, I feel, is an imperfect comparison for someone as perfect as you
You are a sight that moves the very essence of my being and now laughing, these words comes to my mind, “no one should have all this power,” but you do
True beauty defined, breathtaking, divine, the one perfectly refined
May we stay connected over infinite lifetimes

    A thoughtful poem. In the eyes of the Beholder is ‘True Beauty’ truly defined. That’s why the proverbial saying that Love, as well as Lady Justice, is blind.
