"When I Tell You You are Beautiful"
When I tell you
you are beautiful,
I do not mean the prettiness
of your face or
the splendour
of your skin.
These things are yours
but yours, too, is the touch of heaven,
the touch of earth.
When I tell you
you are beautiful,
I am saying that I am grateful
to have shared with you
this journey
between two worlds.
