The beauty I see
Reminds me of me
For I give to all
To see their smiles
Come to be
For my soul
Shines so bright
For it brings joy
To all I see
When I'm lost
My soul is dark
For it brings me shame
To be this way
But sometimes it brings me shame
To let this be
For now I know
I can truly love
The man I see
No longer will be
Filled with shame
For I walk with joy
To bring a smile to all I see
For this I'm grateful
For what others see in me
For without you
I would be
Miserable and filled with pain
For I shall love
No longer filled with hate
You have shown me
Compassion and joy
Your name shall remain
Etched on my heart
For all to see
It's you I can only see
My walls crumble
My heart grows warm
With each passing day
Knowing your presence
Brings me peace
So I say
These words
Meaning every word
No word is false
You are worthy of this praise
Worthy of respect
Worthy of love
For your name brings me peace
As I say These words
Brings a smile
To my lips
MI Amor
Ti Amo
Is all I can say
With this I shall
Be forever in your grace
You have shown me the way
