Others loved you for things you acquired, The sunflower hairpin, your mischievous smile, A good tan, a nice pair of slippers, Or a piece of fabric that enhanced your beauty, But I loved you beyond that others could not see, As you saw glimpses of yourself when you were alone, And as you will discover after the outer beauty fades, For I know you, as you are, deep down whom I love, More than the flesh that dies with changing seasons, You inner beauty shall ever shine like there is no death. |
