There is
beauty in your scars
Like a
road map to your heart
Tear
tracks on your face only seem to make
your
smile all that brighter
You'd
been laughed at
Scorned
Talked
about and lied on
Men have
raised their hands against you
and
emotionally hurt you
to the
point they almost killed you
Still you
find the ability to laugh, trust, be vulnerable
I admire
you
For so
long I was covered in hardness
Bitterness
had turned me into a callous
and
unfeeling person
Now, I am
Woman
You
showed me that it's okay to feel
You made
me comfortable with my emotions
You said,
it's okay to be hurt
but don't
let it make you into a hurt person-
forever
You could
be so hard on me
Sometimes
outright mean
But if it
had not been for you
I would
not be a better woman times infinity
You
helped me to attain a level of maturity
Many take
half a lifetime of trial and error to ever see
You have
shaped me into the beauty that you see today
I owe you
more than my gift of words could ever say
You stood
by me
Even when
no one else would
You said
"God still has His hand on you"
When
nobody else could see how He possibly could
I know
you are proud of me
I can see
it in your eyes.
I am
better prepared
for the
trials of life because you cared
enough to
put me before yourself at times
I now
know what it means to sacrifice
You acted
hard,
but you always had
the
biggest and most open heart
toward me
My life
would be miserable
If I never had met you
I know
you act crazy just to put others at ease
In that
regard you are just like me
In every
other aspect of your personality
You are
so far above everyone I have ever met
But you
never once looked down on me
If
anything, you became everything
To
everyone
Showed us
that you see things from our
Perspective,
like you reallly understand us
Only to
have us change our own perception
and make
us believe we had what it took
inside of
us all along
I grew
because you never left me at
the level
that you found me at
Even when
I grew comfortable,
You said
get up, let's go some more
You never
gave up on encouraging me
That's
why I have the ability to see
The very
best in every other soul I meet
You are
as strong as Deborah
As
worshipful as Miriam
Regal as
Esther
Hard
working as Martha
Eager to
hear Jesus like Mary was
I can't
believe you have no idea.
