At First

At First

At first all I could think of
Was her look
Radiant and impressive
Like the sun glistening off still water

Then I noticed her smile
Captivating and simple
And as she spoke her softness was
Ever so present just behind her grin

I wondered what this could become
This sense of energy and light
I had just befallen
Like a dream in the still of night

Yes she was wonderful
Life's love poured out of her
It is all she really knew
And didn't realize how powerful

She was many things
To many people
And of her loves she counted many yet
She learned always to love herself first

This became her strength
Wherever she went she remembered
My opinion is always the first
My love is me and I am unique and special

So I left her quietly
Sipping tea and eating cakes
Soaking up the hours with intensity
Bringing her beauty at last
To a special place deep inside of her soul
