you're such a pretty little girl
with soft hazel eyes
you make the world stand still
you are even more beautiful now
than you were back then
in your pretty girl years
although now you are quite seasoned
with scars, physically and mentally
from horrors of times past
the pretty little girl
is still there
inside you for all to see

aww Jerry, this is so sweet! You know you spoil that woman of yours. I would suppose she had a hard time resisting your tsunami of loving romantic words. Way to go lover boy!

Thank you so much, Lori. That "woman of mine" has personality plus, she was the one who sent an overwhelming tsunami into the depths of my heart. It shook me to my core. Thank you for being here.

I'm not going to bash youth here, but so often it overshadows wisdom that comes with age .. And I agree, experience is beautiful.

it's lovely when you can see past the grit of a life not always pretty, and still come up with a sweetness for the person

Not only are there girls, but there are boys out there just like that, still pretty/handsome, still scarred, but doing what they can against the tide.
