"When I say to you,
"You are lovely",
you do not believe me,
because of the blemishes
you know so intimately;
but those blemishes are the scars
of your sufferings
and they shine out of your soul,
radiating beauty,
the way the daisies do
in the long summer grasses.
So when I say to you.
"Even with closed eyes,
I still see how beautiful you are"
it is true.
Believe it.
Believe it.”
