an ode to what is beautiful...

The profile of
your button nose
smelling a rose
colored glasses
beauty for ashes
and finger toast
you love the most
Teddy B
he would agree
sweet rainy dew
a life renewed
to dance around
puzzles profound-
ly simple
as seas ripple
and sands delight
your sun ignites
of life and love
from heaven above
a little voice
my heart rejoice
Miss Ladybug's
precious hug
in rhythm spent
time's great lament
of grownup apathy
and we happily
connect the ages
of written pages
and the profile of you.
