Your Beauty

I search for words to describe the beauty I see in my wife.

                             As darkness falls across the star filled sky

                                      I gaze motionless into your eyes

                             and ultimately I'm forced into a natural high.

                         My heart pounds at the pace of an African drum

                                     I began to question my own vision

                                           Can such beauty really exist?

                            With great speed my mind began searching

                        I search for words that might express your beauty

                            I think of great and total also comes to mind

                        I even ponder absolute, but these are not enough,

                                         so the words still I cannot find.

                                          Perhaps my search is in vain

                              Maybe there are no words powerful enough

                                                      for me to explain,

                                               yet I continue searching

                                   I search for words that might express

                                                         your beauty.

The type of praise that any woman would love. While I'm happy for you, I also feel that to have such a beauty for a wife might be a bit of a burden.

To quote Bobby McFerrin: "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, get an ugly woman to be your wife." ;-)
