Eternal Youth

My heart beats for the blue eyed girl that cant find a place in this world she can't see her face is a pearl, precious unique and priceless, instead she looks in the mirror and wants to hurl because all that stares
back is ugliness that comes alive, I've gotta strive to replace all the lies with truth, there is no eternal youth and beauty does live inside the mind- see, you have no reason to run and hide. I've also gotta show that eight year old boy that there is a thing called love, gotta handle his heart with kid gloves. I don't know why his daddy plays so rough. I wish i knew why he has to see his mom get beat up while they're living in a dump, so young and off the bridge he wants to jump- he shudders when I give him a hug, he's gotta see that not every man is a wife-beating thug. They've all gotta see that they can't even trust me 'cuz only one man can mend a heart in pieces- I met
him in my toughest times. His name is Jesus and he's the only one that truly frees us. This is a lesson I learned long ago after being burned by people I know, now I live for Him and I reap what I sow.
