You should know
How beautiful you are
When no one is looking
I see you
I see you glowing
As you glide effortlessly
Gracefully from task to task
With a speed and efficiency
Only passion can produce
More in a wisp
Of your hair
Those eyes! That skin!
Than most even begin
To posses
With such assuredness
So soft
One would never know
By looking
How hard you work
At everything you do
Because you make it look effortless
When you smile up
At no one in particular
you should know, dearest friend
what a force you are
how you light up a room
with your laugh
how you charm us
into your world
how you’re all at once
completely approachable
and beyond reproach
how your character
challenges us to aspire
embraces us in empathy
and entices us to follow
your lead
is gentle
as a mother’s tongue
your hand’s steady
as the camel passes
through the eye of the needle
you’re always prepared
with a cake and a compliment
you should know
you are appreciated
loved, cherished
adored
by all who meet you
lucky those few
honored
to know you
blessed by your charity
you should know
how you motivate us
with your boundless generosity
your steadfast dependability
your tenacious desire
to live life
is contagious
even when you think
no one is watching
I should know!
Excellent. Sounds like a truly wonderful person.
Yes, indeed! 😉
