Brutal school, bleakly bare, friendship with Helen kindled, Chopped for beauty, your hair, with other poor wretches commingled. Coughing, feverish death smited your Helen, layed 'till her calling. Determination in you ignited, stopped yourself from falling. Fine governess with virtuous goodness, lettered, with plain looks, clothes shades of blackness, music, art, God and books. Walking moors icy and cold, Rochester on horseback returning. A vision for him to behold, hearts did start burning. Love came slowly until the evening of desiring discourse. Affection unleashed to fulfil, a devotional path and course. Strength of courage and forgiveness, higher you rose above, iniquitous false witnessess, living life within love. Love comforteth like sunshine after rain. (William Shakespeare.) |

It's so much easier to forgive, when the soul forgives self....the anger, turns into a look of beauty, and sees things so totally different, as your elegant lady here. Well done |
