deeper than the surface
that others see…
not always right,
often makes mistakes,
know when it has fallen,
pleads for forgiveness.
carries a price
that must be paid in full,
worth every penny, every dime,
every tear, every humiliation….
love never accepts
anything less than the truth,
never asks for as much as it gives….
bruised and battered,
bloodied and dirtied….
with a raw beauty….
that only love wears!
