::: Being :::

thank you
for being beautiful
it gives me reason
to smile when I am lonely
you remind me
that it's okay to be sad
which is good
because I am
I'm so very sad
because you're beautiful

thank you
for being kind
I need that understanding
that hug on bad days
it reminds me
of better times long past
which are so few now
and, without them
I'm so very sad
because you're kind

thank you
for being sweet
it's those little things
you never did for me
they remind me
how lonely I am
the true unfairness of life
which I reject
I'm so very sad
because you're sweet
