THREE SIMPLE WORDS
Created | Updated Jul 5, 2006
Earrings into my ears brings me a smile.
I watch the way your shoulders swing
When you lift something I never could.
You are not a flower, pretty and transient,
You are a redwood tree, patient and perennial.
You never will sparkle like diamonds
But to me you glow brighter than stars.
Your puzzled eyes never leave my mind,
Your inexplicable self-doubt eats me alive.
You are not forgotten, alone and unheard,
Always I will champion your every word.
Unfairly unfashionable and underappreciated,
You are the thrill when I wake to summer sun.
