You are Beautiful

4/28/13

A friend asked me the other day if I thought you were pretty.

"HA!" I said. "That doesn't even cut it!"

     I was glad they asked and giddy cuz I had an answer ready.

       "She is the definition of beauty!" I said, "Listen to me! 

           When I think beauty I see her face! 

               I see her eyes set true on mine

                   as she opens a window to the sea of her thoughts.

                      When I think beauty I see her smile,

                          At times she's laughing when I think of the word. 

                              I see her make a sweet silly face. 

              I see a heart so uniquely shaped and it's hers." 

It's funny... I can tell this guy did not expect this from the question.

As you see, I think about it a lot. And I forgot to mention,

"It's not by my strength I can do this. 

On my own I'm sure to miss cuz' my flesh is selfish and bitter.            

      But! He says, 'love her, AS I DO.' 

      And God speaks to me a new name. 

           Everyday in a new way.

           So I love her truly, I do. 

         You see I could never go up against Him,                  

                  so I thought I'd join Him. 

                  And He opens my eyes to what He calls beauty, and 

         Ha!

              She's back again; 

                    Laughing, smiling, 

                           and loving me back, 

              seeing me as beautiful."

I saw this friend again and he asked me if I liked your laugh.

"Like?! I LOVE her laughs!" I said, "Which one?"

And he said, "I'll catch ya later bro!"
