Number-one bestselling author
The first time I met you,
I was nervous. I had never
had a mother in law.
However, I needn’t have worried.
You were as kind and selfless
as your son. As I got to know
you better, I felt the warmth
that emanated from you,
saw the light within your eyes.
At one point, you said to me:
“I don’t like the way I look.”
When I look at you,
all I see is beauty.
Your kindness comes through
in every touch, every hug.
Your generosity of spirit
shines out from you
in every note of concern,
every gesture that you make.
Your beauty shines forth
like a light that can
be seen by all around you.
When I look at you,
all I see is beauty personified,
as if your body and soul
are alight with flame.
I have known few people
as beautiful as you are.
So to you, I say
let your light shine brightly,
shine your light for all to see.
Beauty comes from within
and you are beautiful.
