Beautiful Dear
I keep finding new moments in the day to remind you how much you mean to me.
Climbing out of the shower,
brushing her shiny dark hair,
she winked at me and said—
"How do I look?".
And I said,
You look beautiful, dear.
Dressed in a dark suit for work,
glancing at her makeup in the mirror,
she turned to me and said—
"How do I look?"
And I said,
You look beautiful, dear.
Picking up the kids at school,
checking her buzzing phone in between,
she texted me to say—
"How do I look?"
And I said,
You look beautiful, dear.
Planning the dinner to eat,
rushing between to catch the news,
with tired eyes she turned to say—
"How do I look?"
And I said,
You look beautiful, dear.
Exhausted from the very long day,
she lay on the bed with arms around me.
Her silent eyes asked me again—
"How do I look?".
And I said,
You look beautiful, dear.
