Look Closely

Look closely at what is before you;

and see it with your heart.

Because if you see only with your eyes;

you will miss the most important parts.

The little bits and pieces

that are buried deep inside.

Just waiting to be discovered;

and no longer have to hide.

Like a rose that is slowly opening;

it's petals letting you get a glimpse within

of the inner core that is so protected

now open and caressed by the wind.

The most wonderful parts of a person;

are those that so many will never see.

For to find them will take patience;

and a willingness to set them free.

For the one who takes the time;

to go there and to explore.

The rewards will be so many;

when you finally open that door.
