You took the time
to see me as I really am,
To look beyond
the coats of varnish
so carefully applied
for so many years.
Somehow you knew
that under the decoupaged veneer
was solid mahogany.
How patiently you sanded away
the enameled surface
of my soul,
And gently blew away
the dust of my sadness.
You filled the scars and dings
with a perfect mix
of love and caring.
Then decorated the whole
with gold-leaf laughter.
You took the time
to see me as I really am.
And when your work was done
you proudly stepped
before the queen
And presented me
to me.
