When I first glimpsed you from afar
A lady with nothing special
That’s what I thought you were
Until I moved closer
And saw who you really are
Peering through the door of your heart
I beheld beauty In a rare way
The aroma of friendship wafted to my nostrils
And spread through my system
Until my life was filled
With the essence of joy that you carry
No need to hurry
For your hand is swift
And your heart is deep
Now I know the truth
That you are beautiful
Not physically, the way the world sees it
But in your heart
Resides the greatest beauty of all
Peace and love radiates from within you
Joy and happiness ooze out from you
Even now as I try to understand
Why you made a choice to stand out
I can say of you
You are beautiful!
