EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
by Paul Curtis

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


I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me.
