Love's Chance Brings Gratitude
by Michael Doyle

True beauty rests within the heart.
There is, perhaps, no better place to start.
Moonshine begins from within beauty's skin.
Truth and beauty will tell you when...

Setting the journey at a leisurely pace,
Beauty leaves its eternal trace.
It is a thing of light in the heart, 
Divining why this is the finest art.

Look at her ways of love on her leisurely stroll.
The caring given will be reflected in her soul.
Like a stained glass, she'll sparkle and shine.
But only pure light reveals the true Valentine.

Walking by in a windowed reflection,
It reaches soon enough its true appreciation.
The truest love is one that lives as she deserves.
The best of life is in her movement as she serves.

A blended cup of coffee is ready to drink,
And with its pleasure, there's time to think.
A woman of true beauty is God's best conception.
In her recognition, you'll find your direction. 

In the streets, these things are understood.
The magic of real life is found in the neighborhood.
It's a tainted soul that gives love away.
We learn this in the wreckage of yesterday.

We can judge a good soul when we're near it.
Love comes through when we stop to hear it.
It's there in the little things that come our way.
The beauty of the heart holds the meaning of yesterday.

In the harbor lights, we find the promises kept.
It's a fairytale of diamond tears openly wept.
It's the false raising in our moments of purity.
The hearth of home begins and ends with sweet charity.

Most of life is lived as if only a glimpse passed by,
Except for the girl with the true laugh created by
Moments of others' laughter and thoughts of true romance.
These can only be known when you dare to take love's chance.
