Pretty Boy Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

She said I was a 'pretty boy'.
I could not be offended at all.
Since it was clear,
She was looking in my eyes!
And it took time to realize,
From within me
That is where beauty lies.
And I too saw that in her.
She wanted me to know...
My growth was not masked.
We passed to each other blessings!
And I knew what I had gone through...
Enabled me to deliver an exchange,
Free of scars I once publicly wore.
She validated the pain of my heartbreak...
Was gone and undetected.
I am released and freed of burdens to live!
She knew.
And I did too!

'God has been good to us! '
