People always seem to get caught up in their outer appearance
Never realizing that the inside is full of so much more brilliance
And if I had a dime for every time somebody believed they were ugly and old
I’d be richer than rich for the lies they’ve believed and been told

Kiss me until I can’t breathe
Press your body close to mine
Do this every day to me
And feel our hearts entwine

He wraps me in such loving words
Words written only for me
And like a warm comforting blanket
He covers me with his heart

Filling in the gaps
Life does have its ways
Often sending rays of hope
Even on the darkest of days
And when those unexpected beams
Spread warmth across our faces
It’s happiness we see
And love which embraces
Those gaps no more
A bright sunny future instead
Everything we’d hoped for
Depressive thoughts now dead
If only we could bottle sunshine
And keep it for the days of despair
We’d never be tormented
By even the smallest thought or care
Instead we look for those rays
Hopeful they’ll find us in the dark
For the tiniest amount of hope
Leaves such an impressionable mark

Lovely is the budding flower
Still daring to bloom at first frost
Fighting its way from the chrysalis
Determined not to become lost
