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.
