Gorgeous externally
But the beauty runs
Far more than skin deep
Those intangibles you possess
Just deepen my awe and love for you
Though I’ve been a fool that ran
Out of excused a long time ago
I just pray to honor and cherish you
Not like the rest that abandoned me
When they were powerless to change me
Into a false
Phony
And fake graven image of themselves.

I can step aside
And let the regrets of not doing enough
Eat me up alive
Lord knows, I’ve made enough mistakes
To fill a tome
And remain stubborn as a mule
Or I can become recommitted
One step
One day at a time
I pray that it’s not too late
For fate brought us together
And I’m not ashamed to pour my heart out
For fear of being mocked and jeered.

As they say, there’s a strong woman
Behind every decent man
Hand in hand
Sickness and health
Not private property
I can’t be perfect
But I can try more
That’s in my power
The wildest flower
Calmest of seas
Fondest belief in the underdog
Loyalist lover
Best friend
Truest saint
I still admire
And remain in awe
You might not get the credit
Of the world
But are a hero to me.

P-4/27/19.
