Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. -Kahlil Gibran

The phrase has been repeated, overused
To the point of obsolescence
And I simply couldn't comprehend why
It hadn't been articulated more artfully
If, after all it was worth so much.
But darling, when I look at you
My heart surges, swells
With warmth: golden, effervescent, invincible
Realization dawns on me
That those words, those three
Mean so much more than they seem.

I wrote this about someone very special to me, to tell them just how they made me feel. I hope I conveyed it well.
