For the Lady Essie --

A Lady's Heart, Unchanged Within
A heart like a pearl, beneath the ocean's sway,
Through crashing waves and sunlit spray, it holds its way.
In youth's soft dawn, a glow so pure and bright,
Unburdened by the world, a beacon in the night.
Life's storms may come, with thunderous roar,
Leaving scars unseen, upon the tender shore.
But still, the pearl within, its luster does not fade,
Just layers of resilience, a protective shade.
Through laughter's dance, and tears that freely fall,
The heart remains, a fortress through it all.
In love's sweet embrace, a gentle warmth it keeps,
A sanctuary where joy in secret sleeps.
With every loss, a barrier may arise,
A wall of strength, to guard against the skies.
Yet, even in the shadows, when hope seems so frail,
The heart's true essence, never will fail.
For in the depths of time, where memories reside,
The lady's heart, with love, will always abide.
A treasure hidden deep, though veiled by life's design,
A radiant jewel, forever meant to shine.
