Sometimes...
Sometimes, you are just plain gorgeous,
And we are all a little happier to be alive,
We find the sun shines a little more often,
And we are gentle with our friends.
Sometimes, the day's changes in you,
Bring us a joy that sings aloud in our hearts,
Cause our legs to dance a little as we walk,
Make us want to tell strangers, they are very much loved.
Sometimes you are stunningly beautiful,
In ways we do not understand,
We do not quite know what we should do,
Though we are very sure, we should do it very well.
Like a deer in our gardens,
Like a hawk in our skies,
Like the laughter of children,
Like advice from the wise.
Sometimes, you shine so brightly,
We all get a little dizzy from the light,
And say silly things we really mean,
You should understand, this is how it should be.
