When you first awake
with hair disarray,
“You’re beautiful, Love”
is what I will say.
When you are pregnant
and don’t feel so small,
“You’re beautiful, Love”
That’s it and that’s all.
When your diet fails
and you start again.
“You’re beautiful, Love”
I’ll say to you then.
When you’re old someday,
look in the mirror.
“You’re beautiful, Love”
is all you will hear.
