I Don't Think She Knows How Truly Beautiful She Is

Perfection of the Heart
by: Rob Paquin

To turn yourself into a work of art
Upon the whole, and not in part
Quite a perfect place to start
Is with the perfecting of your heart

There is a lady that I know
Thoughts and feelings overflow
And as she passes, I see her glow
And I feel the gifts that she bestows

Beauty shining like the stars
Picture perfect like the great Renoir's
And though her soul has some scars
She's worth the worshiping from afar

Eyes of green, and hair like fire
A smile that incites desire
Words that lift and take me higher
A subtle touch that I admire

Soft and sweet are her affections
As she wanders in her own direction
Adding experiences to her collection
As she searches for her heart's perfection

Wow! I'm truly at a loss for words. This was so beautiful and light-inducing that I'm having trouble forming a worthy thank you here, even though I know you don't need to hear those two words from me as you probably already know just how touched I am by this kindness. Your words have always been able to capture the mind and soul of everyone they come across, which is such a beautiful gift in itself.

Thank you for being kindness and light in a sometimes shellfish and dark world, Rob. Your readers are very happy and lucky a soul like you exists for many reasons, one of them being to remind us of so many beautiful aspects that are still thriving out there despite the obstacles we're presented with.

Thank you again for seeing what I often fail to. These thoughts mean a lot coming from a soul such as yours. Peace be with you today and everyday this world is lucky enough to have you be a part of it 🤗

You're welcome. If it made you smile for a moment it has served it's purpose. You're deserving.

Feel free to copy it to someplace easily findable.

Enjoy your weekend.

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F

The smile from this sentiment will last much longer than a moment :)

I appreciate that. I'll save it in my notes so I can look upon it should I feel the darkness start to creep in.

Enjoy yours as well! It's going to be a beautiful one ☀️

@PerfectionOfTheHeart: You two are really sweet!! 🤗

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F

@Loretta78: Aww, thank you! He's a kind man so it makes it easy to return the kindness :)

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@PerfectionOfTheHeart: That's true. But not every kind man can write such beautiful, kind words! :-)
(getting jealous) 😣
🙃 lol

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F

@Loretta78: That is true, but that's when other aspects of their kind nature shine thru.

Haha there's no need for jealousy, hun. He writes so many beautiful words for us all to get lost in and connect with :)

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@PerfectionOfTheHeart: I am jealous 😣😣 - but only virtual! 😀

In real I even don't know the feeling of jealousy at all! 😇😉
🤗

HikingMan · 51-55, M

You two crack me up. Now I'm jealous. Wish I had friends like you guys do....

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@HikingMan: You don't have to be jealous - not at me. I don't have any friends. Not on SW and not in real life... :-(

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F

@HikingMan: You do silly!

HikingMan · 51-55, M

@Loretta78: I'll be your friend.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart: Thanks. I'm touched to be considered as such.

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@HikingMan: You deserve it. 😊

HikingMan · 51-55, M

"Deserves", never seems to have much to do with my life....

I take what I get, and try not to become too despondent when things don't turn out as they should have.

I've pretty much given up on hope, happiness, and ever having more or better.

These days, I just keep it simple.

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F

That hurts my heart to read, but we each have to walk our own journey and adjust accordingly. The hope I must hold onto in order to feel like I'm walking towards something worthwhile is for me and me alone. You living an existence without such a thing as hope, even though it is painful for a heart like mine to hear, is an existence that works for you so all I can do is support your journey like I would anyone else's because each journey is so very precious and should be treated as such. With that being said I wish for you to once again know what happiness is in this world. I know you've endured loss that can be earth-shattering and I can't make you look for happiness in a world that seems very unforgiving and cruel at times, but I still wish glimmers of happiness to find their way to you in some form.
@HikingMan:

@Loretta78: You are not as alone as you think you are here 🤗

HikingMan · 51-55, M

She isn't. I agree.

As for me..., I'm fairly fine with the finality of it all. I don't really stress it, and I've found that pretend smiles look an awful lot like genuine smiles.

It works well enough for me.

Thanks for the kind words
