&lsquo;Maybe Richard will find another way. Just tell him, Alice. Tell him that his own Confessor never stopped loving him. And that if he can&rsquo;t undo the magic, if he can&rsquo;t return to her then, she&rsquo;ll be waiting for him, in the Underworld. Forever.&rsquo;<br /> -Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell,<br /> Legend of the Seeker

I see the beauty in a face worn and old.
The face of a man who’s often too cold.
I see the beauty of that one desperate smile
He knows I can’t go another mile.
He sees the beauty that within me lies
I see my heart when I look into those eyes.
That is the beauty unnoticed.

I like this very much. It reminds me of my Grandfather. Well done, and it makes quite a bit of sense. This poem is a beauty unnoticed. :)
