Because it’s you,
life is made more beautiful;
and it isn’t in anything you do
but that you are being true,
and my world is good for it.
Because it’s you,
because you have come to be,
the stars shine brighter,
the moon has cause to smile,
the sun’s rays reach farther
for so many more miles.
Because they know you
in all your potentiality.
And my world is good for it.
You don’t need another’s approval.
You don’t need to have something to show.
You don’t need to pass some tests;
to be applauded for what you know.
You don’t.....
because it’s you.
You are already deserving
of every chance there is
to unfold your truth in your own way
by your soul’s perfect timing.
And my world is good for it.
Because it’s you,
you who are perfect as who you are,
how honored I am to be your guardian
to love and support you to go as far
as you would being no one else but you
in your brilliance as one amongst the stars.
And my life is beautiful for it.....
(because it’s you)
