Beautiful This

Do you know how beautiful you are?

I look out my window today and see the leaves on the trees,

the blooms of flowers waiting, waiting

the light of the sun straining through the clouds

green everywhere I turn

But still in all this beauty that I behold

nothing compares

to the vision of you

sitting in your chair

walking by my door

sleeping so sweetly and safely still

how did you come here

this place I call home

always in amazement I am

stirring now, bending down I kiss you

my angel, my demon, myself

thank you for bearing witness

for taking this chance

for everything you are

beautiful
you are
