Love Unmasked

She knew everything

Would be alright as long as

Warmth never failed her

Tears stained her face

While laughter replaced the pain,

Now a distant haze

Hurt turned transient

By angels that cared the most

She wasn't alone

Dad's protective grasp

Mom's soft caressing touches

Brother's goofy smiles

Her life was perfect

Graced by imperfections that

Made precious truths known
