For I have heard the great poets,
and I know this to be true,
that if beauty lives in kindness,
then my beauty lives in you.

I have seen this world in every light
and the gloaming that it brings,
but my darling you are emerald groves,
the amber gold of spring.

May not your soul be weary,
for after every bitter frost,
blossoms bloom in melodious tune,
and you're never truly lost.

Wherever this world may take you,
and of all the things you’ll see,
every night may the beat of your heart,
bring you back to me.

Just know I am beside you,
through every jagged shore,
life’s piercing thorns,
and all you may endure.

For you are never alone,
or on your own,
this much I know is true.
For if beauty lives in kindness,
then you'll find me within you.
