do you know her worth

the value that's within

without that shield removed

you've only seen the skin

do you know her thoughts

and independent mind

or seen she doesn't strive

for goals of worldly kind

when she makes you laugh

d'you think that that's ok

do you meet her as a stranger

or more vital powers at play

yes you talk of loving her

as no other may

engage her smile, her flair, her mind

but don't take those away
