Those Who Know

Those who know The me that is mine Authenticity unrehearshed See the righteousness of my ways And braid in their loving twine To secure I am a well received package That deserves to be opened and explore It's contents clear and kind Rare as a valuable antique Beautiful as a one of a kind gem Those who know The battles and bruises I've endured Will look upon my badges And admire the before and afters Without turning a judgemental eye To stare upon the obvious flaws and scars We all carry under our steam cleaned clothing Those who know The lionhearted loyalty preserved And the lightening quick forgiveness I serve Will stand beside my blustery blues And remind me they are Those who know
