Through the camera’s eye
Look closely and see
An image revealed to so few

Far beneath a composed surface
The viewfinder will present
A heart that is strong and true

Many see just what’s shown
In a carefully crafted pose
A kind and smiling face

But reflected in warm sunlight
And caught by the lens
Is a soul filled with compassion and grace

Most will never take the time
To wait for the moment and light
They overlook what sets her apart

I instead release the shutter
And capture the wonder
Of an amazingly beautiful heart
