Dearest Darling,

See how beautiful nature is
the flowers, springs, the clouds.
Look at the stars, sunrays
The sight of the oceans……

Nature is indeed beautiful
But you are more beautiful
Than all I have just described
Yes, that is how beautiful you are

It is not a compliment
I mean it from the depths of my heart
Don’t feel flattered
It’s the truth; take it to heart.

So when you walk past a flower
Visit the beach
Admire the stars, galaxy
Be reminded that
You are more than all of them put together.

You are wondering how I came about this…?
I was busy; busy with “you”
“Busy” with your thoughts.
Busy can be beautiful
Busy can be creative.

Without your thoughts, these words won’t breathe nor live
Thank you for the inspiration, Happy Birthday Arike.
