A picture that I seen today
made me realize
what my heart could easily say
if I let it guide.

By looking closer
what I have found
true inner beauty that has no bounds.

To some it looks like just a photo
and yes, easy on the eyes
just a picture of a pretty girl
caught at the perfect time.

But to me I seen that there was more something not all of us can see
if you look deep
into this picture
you can see what the heart truly sees.

Her eyes that I have cast upon
now seem to focus on life unscorned,
the twinkle from her eyes I see
shows wonderous possibility.

The small quiver from her softened lips
as she shows her gentle smile
gives recognition of something precious
A Life That's all worthwhile.

Gentle features adorn her
flowing lines of beauty quietly pronounced and likeness of a princess waiting
on her knighted spouse.

Her graceful locks of golden hue
so carved around her face
resembling a perfect place in time
that shows amazing Grace.

Her complexion is that
of nothing to hide
it seems only to show
her heart's true love side.

The way she's dressed in the color of white and all that I could see
was the billowing of angel's wings
the prosperity it brings.

I know it's just a picture to most

to me it's mostly more than boasts

of how some hearts
don't see eye-to-eye
how they struggle with truth than lie
and even though we've never met
my heart can really see
it's all in a picture that I received
a picture she sent to me.
