EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 

You always feel like

A Sunflower amidst the Daffodils

A Thistle among the Tulips

Out of place, unsightly

 

You see yourself

As the ugly duckling

But who never transformed

Into the beautiful swan

 

You feel ugly and at odds

Ungainly and ungraceful

How wrong you are

To me you are perfection

 

You should feel like

You are a Rose amidst Cabbages

An Orchid among Daises

In pride of place, radiant

 

I see you as

The beautiful signet

Who was transformed

Into a beautiful, graceful swan

 

That’s how I see you

An angel from the host

A goddess among mortals

Whom I shall forever worship
