Elizabeth's  "Stained Glass Hearts"

tells me much of what's in YOU :

I see loveliness

where some say, "She's just so plain ! "

(Like  MONA  LISA ! )



~ ~ ~ ~ ~          ~ ~ ~ ~          ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



They say, " Her eyes are too wide ! " ;

They say, " Her nose is too long ! ".

I  LOVE  eyes like yours !

I  LOVE  inquisitive minds !

( They're  PERFECTION ! ")



~ ~ ~ ~ ~         ~ ~ ~ ~ ~          ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



And then there's this one more thing ;

I've read your biography

and noticed this :

you love subtle, "inner things" !

( Like  Elizabeth !! )

"Thou art so fair", Elizabeth was told by her Robert;

now that YOU have my definition of YOU, do not doubt it !!
