When I behold the beauty of your soul, I see the diamonds fine and cut apart That have through years been compacted from coals As tragedies heaved on your precious heart. The diamonds, sharp and potent and yet fragile Attainment of the matter of the earth And you - so tender, delicate, and agile Each day a death - and in it a rebirth: To grow through agony and through the heartache And never to give in, but to give more: And greet each day with joy and light and passion As though it was to last forevermore: To give your all, and still to give to people - To do all that you can and further still: To be your greatest and the most simple: Accomplishment of love directing will: Thus to remain ethereal and uplifted And show the truth of what on earth can be When one so lovely, generous and gifted As you, can live and fathom and be free - And show what life can be, as it's intended, Embodied in resplendent heart - that's you - Where present and eternity are blended And life's sublimity can bloom anew. The beauty of your soul, when seen completely, Is timeless, endless, exquisite and true And so my sweet, I say to you discretely: The diamond of the universe is you.
