How I See you

In silent strength ,undaunted, so you stand,
To face once more what others dare not bear,
Unbowed by petty frivolous demands,
Your dignity intact despite despair.

Through tribulations seemingly on end,
Your poise and elegance remain your charm.
Your constancy the armor that defends
Your loved ones from the ravages of harm.

Your quiet calm has never seen defeat
And those who know you deeply stand in awe
Of spirit sorely tempted yet discreet
That perseveres while others simply fall.

Should false attacks cause haunting doubts to swell,
Just seek someone who knows and loves you well.
