Denise

Inspired by and dedicated to my cousin Denise Ortiz-Valdez.

Your beauty in its essence,
In it's purest form, defined
Is thought to be a present
Given by the divine.

You are perfection that when sought
Can never be found
For those who seek even the thought
To the ground shall be bound.

You are complete, the jealous say,
And your flaws they fail to miss,
But the truth is that without flaws, nay,
Perfection can never exist.

So perfect-be and perfect-stay,
Stay perfectly unique like Greece,
Because the truth is as bright as day,
You are one of a kind, Denise.
