Don't you know,
. . . You are beautiful
A living, breathing, wonder
. . . Hidden, secret, waiting to be
discovered
There is more to beauty
. . . Than what meets the eye
For true beauty
. . . Isn't as easily defined
It is something you are born with
. . . Not something you can teach
It is hidden within
. . . Where time cannot reach
It gets better with age
. . . And it never grows old
It is more valuable than gold
. . . But cannot be bought or sold
It is seen in eyes that dance
. . . A heart that will risk a chance
A spirit robed in elegance
. . . And a life filled with romance
It is heard in the kindest of words
. . . Envisioned in the sweetest of
dreams
Cloaked in a quiet confidence
. . . A merciful soul that redeems
It resides in a fractal heart that loves
. . . Far more than it is capable of
Bringing love to the unloved
. . . Dispensing a mercy from above
. . . Through a calm and healing touch
It is a free spirit
. . . That lives to love
. . . And loves the life it lives
Measured not in what it receives
. . . But in what it gives
It lives with a passion
. . . To forgive and forget
Finding love in all things
. . . Including the things it hasn't seen
yet
It believes all things
. . . Casts out all fear
An unwavering trust
. . . With the courage to persevere
It is bounded by a love
. . . That will not let go
. . . THAT WILL NEVER LET GO!
Don't you know
. . . You are beautiful
A living, breathing, wonder
. . . Hidden, secret, waiting to be
discovered
Don't you know? . . . .
. . . . . That you are beautiful to me!
