I Know...

You are brighter in body and mind
That your beauty is a rare kind,
I know how you covet those eyes
That gaze upon your starry skies.

I know

You love to laugh when humoured
O how your teeth strike a chord!
I know how this makes me feel:
Like I've achieved a great deal.

I know

Your focus duels the desire of youth
That every turn has a version of truth
But in the corner of my eye
I catch a chic taunting the lie.

I know

Sometimes your mood swings
And soars on sinister wings;
Gracious, such has met its end
No more will it your beauty rend.

I know

That I do not know it all
So I strive to learn this fall
And to what end is this flaw
But to appreciate and adore.
