For Lynda

For all the times you were neglected or abused
I want to take you in my arms and tell you that you are a muse
A source of inner-beauty, inspiration, and wisdom
You are all of this and more if you haven't heard it before I'm telling you now

I want you to know that I think you're beautiful
Wonderfully beautiful and captivating on the outside
And even the more beautiful on the inside
I wish you knew that about yourself, but at least I do

I can't believe God could create something so beautiful
That hasn't been properly appreciated for what you are
You are so sweet, so kind, so honest and so giving
You are all of this and more and I promise to always be kind to you

If there ever comes a time when you feel you're not wanted
Remember that I'm always going to be here
And if there ever comes a time when you feel sad or down
Just call me and I'll do my best to turn that frown upside down

For all the tears you have shed
I want to turn them into laughter and smiles
You are so beautiful when your face is lit up with a smile
Your jaw-dropping smile that extends from cheek to cheek

You make me smile, and I can't wait until we hang around
I know that there will never be a dull moment with you
You are the one of the few people that keeps me on my toes
And I can't wait to spend more time with you

There are times when I wonder how someone as kind as you
As beautiful as you, as wonderful as you, as captivating as you
Could have been put through all that you've been through
And still come out as one of the most amazing girls I know

You came into my life unexpectedly
And I'm glad that I let you into it
Because it wouldn't be the same without you
And I'm so thankful that I met you

I know there is nothing in this world I can do or say
To take all of your pain away
But all that I want you to know
Is that I'm here to stay
