Fragile
When others see you, you seem like this bear of a man. They mistake your ambling ways, thinking your mind is as slow as your stroll. They don’t take the time to get to know you, to understand how truly brilliant you are.
How funny, and smart, and kind you are. Quiet, but resilient. Shy, but quick to smile. They can’t understand what a tender heart you have, how loyal you are to your family and friends.
Your outer strength hides the fragile child still inside. I only wish they knew you like I do, they would love you too.

I love this, Tara. And feel how personal it is to you.
I see my husband in this post. You have eloquently described how people judge a book by its cover. He is a big beast of a man too and I love the gentle soul underneath.
I love, love, love this. You are such an amazing mom. :)
This feels very personal. Beautiful as always
Beautiful.
This is really touching.
What a touching tribute. Beautiful.
Love it. Love it love it love it. And I live it – or fear I will.
What a lovely portrait. I love the contrasts of someone who is almost or already an adult who puts on one face to the world but saves the other for you, his Mom.
I’ve known this feeling. Great capture. ;)
How many us can relate to this? *raising hand*
well done
this is lovely, Tara
Very touching Tara.
Love.
Oh Tara I really liked this, I saw this man ….known him in my lifetime and yes if anyone knew who he was inside his heart would be displayed and envied.
This was beautiful.
