Beautiful Ruby

Beautiful Ruby

A Poem by Jerryyoung1z
"

This is for a friend

"
On SOM this girl I met
Has a wonderful way of telling how she felt
With pen and paper her heart she pours out
Her words are like whispers, but has meaning like a joyous shout
She've been through a lot, through her eyes you can see
Once she sunk deep, almost to the bottom of the sea
But she's stronger than she knows, stronger than she believe
For she brave the winds, surf the tides and took on a purpose to live
Though most times she feel insecure, doubt clouding her mind
Sometimes she's just not sure if love she'll ever find
She asked me once if she's pretty, though she's prettier than a bird
But my answer was ''No'' for pretty is too small a word
She's beautiful you see, like her name implies
She's Ruby, a gem, without wings she flies
True beauty lies within, she's got this from the very start
She's beautiful in face, in mind and in heart.

Nice write, Jerry.

From the heart and written with pure intentions. It didnt seem quite as seamless in flow as some of the other works of yours i have read, but the heart behind it cannot be faulted.

A lovely, simple piece of writing.

Thanks for stopping by.
Anyone would love to have a friend like the narrator in your poem. So many people are craving acknowledgment thru-out most of their lives, so here you have shown us how it's done. These are the words that everyone wishes someone would say to them. Your actual construction is a little bumpy in spots, but the sincerity & creativity is so strong, who cares about rhyme & meter? I especially like the line about her words like whispers, but the meaning is a joyous shout. Such contrasts are fun & interesting in writing.
