I Will Not Despise Her

I will not despise her

no matter what you say.

She is lovely, her heart

what he holds

in his hands,

Her voice a song he created,

every word a note

he loves to hear.

She is a masterpiece--

exquisite, incomparable,

indestructible fragile-strong.

He calls her Pure,

his True One,

and she cannot be

replaced

no matter what you say.

So watch this

as she stands,

listening, heeding

his calling her name.
