Here I sit amazed at what you say out loud
knowing better then to believe you
for you are not a weed waiting to be uprooted
but a rose of truth and virtue

A gem hidden in the gravel
only waiting to be found
no need to be polished
for your beauty sets the standard

Will you not understand?
I see the facts that are at hand
someone else may have convinced you
that you’re the ugly duckling

But I have heard you sing
and know that you are
a bird of unimagined beauty
glistening for all to see

I am not alone in my opinion
for the truth speaks to all
who have heard your words
you and you alone
have what it takes to make
men stop in there tracks

So please do not play
the role of Helen of Troy
for she is a tragedy of war
where you are inspiration of love

Now that I have spoken I will
rest my argument and stop to smell the rose
and admire the gem while I listen for your next song
hopefully about love and  not what you do wrong

Thomas, this is really beautiful.
And, I feel so much compassion wrote
in this verse....

Now that I have spoken I will
rest my argument and stop to smell the rose
and admire the gem while I listen for your next song
hopefully about love and  not what you do wrong



So beautiful....
Hugs,
Ethel

The Lady I speak of is much more then what my words can could ever describe.
