SHE

She has no idea she's beautiful
how her smile lights up the room
and puts everyone at ease.
her eyes sparkle like the sun setting on the sea when she laughs, which is often.
when she looks in the mirror
she sees a million imperfections
when i look at her, i see my hero.
she is gentle and strong
fierce and forgiving
innocent and smart
she is the glue.
she is a rock.
she has the softest shoulders in the world, if you're crying
she has the stiffest upper cut in the place,if someone hurts you.
she's the friend you can call no matter the hour.
when she hugs you, you know everything will be ok.
she's not afraid to say what she feels.
she's not afraid to dream the big dream.
most importantly, she's not afraid to try love again
even though her heart has been shattered.
she just picks up the pieces
because she thinks practice makes perfect
and one of these days she'll find one who deserves her.
and i think she's right.
