Poem For Melissa

Beauty has several factors, you have none, some or all,
some are born beautiful,
with rosy cheeks and luscious smiles,
some with frowns and distant eyes.
In you I see joy and happiness, and pain, at the same time.
You love, and you care
endlessly guiding some of us through,
is there no end to your guidance?
I love it so.

Beauty, is the subject,
and I will admit,
those factors show in you,
with those smiles,
or wondering, wandering eyes,
quick strolls here and there,
paths you walk on,
they may be blessed,
you are beautiful,
and I know you know it is so.

Blank stares, into space, into eyes,
or looks of wonder,
or your smile, it makes us all smile,
everything I see in you,
is beautiful,
everything,
and I believe that many do, believe it.
But, I may be the only,
to say,
that though you may seek,
and roam for true love,
you must remember,
nights go by,
and there are some of us,
who before we sleep send our prayers to you,
there are some.
And, they,
are
your
true
Love.
They will stick by you,
and,
no matter what you do,
we will be there,
to wipe those tears from your eyes.
