You're Beautiful

Life’s easier for you because you’re beautiful

for me it’s not the same,

I appear irresponsible

treating life as if a game.

Your beauty comes from deep inside

your life force rules your day,

we’re completely different

for mine gets in my way.

Your lovely, sweet, and quiet grace

helps make you beautiful,

your essence has a brighter shine

where mine is simply dull.

I’m not making excuses

I’m just contemplating fact,

your beauty shines out from your soul

and tells you how to act.

But I’ll keep plodding through life

trying to learn, as on I go,

for having seen your beauty

has helped more than you know.
