The Most Beautiful Girl In the World

The most beautiful girl in the world.

Have you seen her? 
The most beautiful girl in the world!
I have! And she is a wonder to behold
She stops traffic, no need for police
She lights up a room, she's that electric
She shines brighter than the brightest
diamonds and pearls 
She's the most beautiful girl in the world

There's nothing that compares to her
nothing else to look upon, to gaze upon
for she is the sole possessor 
of all the beauty that exists.

Her smile, her kindness, her grace 
entrances, mesmerizes, paralyzes
Have you seen her? I have!

To be close to her for a moment
to catch a glimpse of her elegance
is all that is needed to take your 
breath away, and once that is done
you can die in peace 
as you are breathless anyway.

Have you seen her? I have!
Now there's nothing left to do
but to wait, until she appears again
So ...I'll just stay here...waiting...

contemplating my 

vision of loveliness

my wife.
