In a Word

She is like the sweet scent of a lilac,

Her smile, the brilliance of the sun.

Her heart, gentle and warm;

In a word she is lovely.

Eyes that encapsulate the heavens,

A smile which captivates the heart.

Her face, radiant and kind;

In a word she is beautiful.

Her laugh is the sweetest of melodies,

Her hand, the simplest of remedies.

A rose amidst the sand;

In a word she is extraordinary.

I’ve loved her since eighteen,

Even though we may never be.

In a word she is perfect,

Just perfect for me.
