For S

There is sunshine in her smile
with caution round the edges
as if she isn't sure she is safe
and trust is a fragile commodity

She finds value in herself
through love
the loving of her family
the sweet care for her children
They make her whole

She understands her value as
a mother
A wife
Fiercely devoted
Strongly opinionated
Absolutely involved

What she doesn't see
is common to us all
That her value is,
and always has been
in who she is
inside
where no one sees

That is where her
true beauty lies
She is ferociously beautiful
I stand in awe
