I met a girl, a masterpiece true, Whose heart holds a secret, an enchantment in view. Through hell, she has traveled, her spirit unharmed, Beware of her love, for it's both gentle and armed. She taught me of love, both for self and for others, A kind-hearted soul, she embraced all her brothers. Her heart, like a tapestry woven with care, Holds strength and compassion, a treasure rare. Within beats her empathy, understanding all plight, Each joy, every sorrow, it harmonizes just right. Untainted by bitterness, through trials, it remains, Embracing flaws, vulnerabilities, and life's pains. A sanctuary it offers, a haven so pure, Unconditional affection, an endless allure. Nurturing herself, inspiring all around, Kindness and compassion, it effortlessly ground. In its presence, one's drawn to its bright light, Offering hope, healing, and power to invite. An exemplar of beauty, despite hardship and strife, Her heart showcases the essence of human life. To be touched by her heart is to forever transform, By its radiance, its power, its internal storm. A reminder to all, of love's boundless grace, Precious and deserving, a treasure to embrace. She, the girl with the beautiful heart, Radiates beauty, a work of fine art. She, the living masterpiece, the pearl underneath the sea... Giving me hope to believe more ...
