Freckles

Beauty found in imperfection

Disdain sometimes found in a reflection,

Often segregated into their own section,

Behind these defects

Many are afraid to mention

The attraction they possess

Even under the skin.

Deep in the mind,

One may yet find

A heart yet to be signed,

Sealed or delivered.

One can only hope this tree of life within

Does not end up withered.

One with the eyes of a wise man

Is where the beauty lies,

One with the eyes of a bigot

May one day behold a surprise.
