THE BEAUTY OF HER BROKENNESS

He saw the beauty of her brokenness

The inner garden of her soul

He took in the scent of her beauty 

Of her strength and self control

The  sweet essence of her being

Like the fragrance of a rose

Revealed her fragrant tenacity

From where her inner beauty grows

He saw the imperfections

The broken places of her heart

He filled the cracks with gold

Till she became a work of art
