Eyes bluer than you’ve ever seen,
this woman’s brave.
You only notice them at first,
followed by the brilliance of her smile
that overshadows all the scars
from all the battles that she’s fought
and lost, or fought and won,
but she’s been fighting long
and hard for many years.
She’s learned to rest.
She’s earned some rest.
And all the complications
and the conversations that are hard
and razor-edged will be no match
because she’s found her peace.
