i’m beautiful
because
i am in love
because
there is
the heart
that beats
completely
unaware
of my affection
because
i’m breathing in
the same spring air
that bubbles
with joy
of living
in
his blood
i’m beautiful
adorned
with every treasure
that caring glance
can give
a human soul
my simple gown
doesn’t really matter
when i am crowned
with candor
and respect
i’m beautiful
because
of countless blessings
that led my path
to intersect
with his
i’m beautiful
because
it isn’t me
it is
his light
that fills
and shines
through
