, That One Beloved Face Poem by Louise Tredoux

Sometimes we realize how wonderful
the presence of a loved one – his tone
of voice, his understanding, even his
wrath or anger; everything is different
when it is HIM who experiences an
emotion,

We bask in the glory of their goodwill
and love and suffer under their fury, al-
ways they are exceptional, always it is
that one beloved face we wish to see,
always HE turns back to me with an
understanding

And compassion that motivates me to
try harder to fulfill my ideals and make
him proud, feeling such pride in his hard
work to create a better world, seeing a
different world through his eyes - and
when

He forgets to laugh, turning his eyes to
all the joys in life, showing him all the
beauty we can see, hoping to motivate
him to create more beauty with me…
