You are so beautiful

I look at you

And I see an angel

It's not so much a physical beauty

Although you have that too

No, it's a beauty of the soul

An inner beauty that colors everything you do

Everything you are

The baser instincts that plague us all

Have no purchase with you

It would never occur to you to be cruel

You wouldn't know how

I pray you never learn

You are an inspiration

To all who know you

But most of all, to me

You are my guiding light

My proof that goodness does exist

And it is my fervent wish

That the ugly things in life

Never touch you, never change you

For you are the rarity in this world

A pure and gentle soul
