You remind me of a rainbow, shining bright and beautiful after a storm. How light can be found in even the darkest of times. Storms may blow through, causing mass destruction, yet there you are colored with glee. Despite it all, you never fail to shine. Each stripe painted of your rainbow projects the creativity held deep within. Much like a chameleon, you never fail to embrace your surroundings. Casting a positive light in the midst of chaos. Such a simple, magical, being you are. Sunsets, starry nights, the smell of morning dew in the beginning of spring, they all remind me of you. However, you too remind me of a cold dark winter day. Somber skies with an overcast of gloom. Although melancholy lurks through the air, you bring a sense of comfort and home. A sense of safety. Almost as if you were an alternate reality, an escape room if you will. You’ve been battered and bruised but you are still here thriving. The beauty comes from being able to navigate this challenging maze of life, and always coming out with a better sense of self even when you wanted to give up. Inspirational resilience. Nonetheless, bright and beautiful, or cold and dark, you are always yourself, never giving up – and for that I love you.

I love you;
Not because of some kind of predisposition or God’s predetermination;
I love you as you were and as you’ve been.
From the time you were a child to the time of a teen,
From the good, bad, ugly, pretty, and in between; I must say,
What I adore most is your divine strength.
I admire your beauty at its very core
And they say, beauty is pain, but you somehow wear it so well;
However fashionably late, I love the way you dress yourself.
From the aura that circles you
To the sweat that drips from your pores.
There are not enough words in my vocabulary that can describe the beauty that is yours,
But by definition it is quite frankly your essence:
God fearing, divinely strong,
Your presence alone can make hell nervous, just as much as it feels like home.
