Whenever I see her, my world is alight
She is the most wonderful thing, She is a delight.
She sings like a bird, like wind chimes
She is as beautiful as a sunset of amber and limes
She dances gracefully with little ease,
She twirls and whirls like the autumn leaves,
Her eyes are a deep ocean, a sea of blue,
They are so breathtaking, so kind so true
When her eyes light up, they are the sunrise
Her lips are a soft cherry blossom pink they are the beautiful outlines
Her smile is the one of the many things about her I hope never dies
Her hair falls effortlessly perfect each strand so silky and golden like a summer skyline
The most beautiful thing about her is the way she understands
How she loves to hear your story, how she sits and listens
Her beauty cannot be defined, it’s inside and out
A beauty well known but one she doesn’t even know about.
