Beauty

Listen to poem:

Beauty I love your lashes I love your hair I count them daily To check they're still there I love your smile I hope you know There's love in my heart Set to overflow I see past the shadows I know who you are You light up my world In my sky you're the star And when you are quiet Let there be no shame If I cannot sit with you Hear me whisper your name For the world may not let you Be that spirit, so free So let me hug you and tell you You're a beauty to me.

Thank you Kim - it's nice that you think so x I had my daughter in mind.. but then also my son.. really everyone I love. I liked that once it was written I could slot anyone, even friends, into the place of the beloved. I hope you can too ;-)
