Outside Looking In

Her eyes shine, full of hope;
her smile hides her sorrow.
As she wipes away her tears;
with faith of a better tomorrow.

Gathering the pieces of her heart;
to sew it back together with love.
Knowing her blessing is reserved;
an angel sent to her from above.

She displays strength and courage;
as she struggles to hold back tears.
Doubting her efforts as a mother;
even though she knows it’s just a fear.

She has been taken for granted;
and her generosity abused.
Her spirit can not be broken;
though it is slightly bruised.

Her beauty is her endless love;
which is reflected in her friends.
Her faith will bring her a prince;
with compassion that never ends.

Long forgotten, the passion which stirs;
healing her scars, with a gentle kiss.
Her patient prayers have been answered;
showering her with a comfortable bliss.

Does she know she healed his scars too;
or just how much his passion grew?
Does she really know how she affects him;
or do you even know, this is about you?
