You’re pretty like sunshine and roses
But also like orchids in moonlight
Like water reflecting the sky
Like tired nights when the wind heaves a sigh
Pretty like a foggy forest
Like sunshine through the mist
Pretty like the crescent moon,
In clouds that drift and kiss
Pretty like the mountains tall
The hills wild and untamed
Pretty like the city lights
Stars of another name
You’re pretty like the frozen roses
Or snowdrops by the windowsill
Pretty like the Maybells
Or like a songbird’s trill
You’re pretty like the sky before
A storm that beats the shore
Pretty like the wet, damp sky
Where a storm has come before
Like the sun rays through the fog
Like the moonshine in the mist
Pretty like the frozen sea
Or a solar eclipse
Pretty like the rise of dawn
Pretty like the dusk
Pretty like iron strong
And pretty like the rust
You’re pretty like the rivers running
Pretty like the streams
Pretty like the brooks still trickling
Pretty as it seems
Pretty like the dandelions
Hard to kill and free
Pretty like the baby’s breath
A beauty to witness and see
You’re pretty like the sleeping nights
Like waves that ebb and flow
Pretty like the lakes so bright
Like the moss that always knows
Pretty like an island fair
Like the sound of rain coming down
Pretty like the pebbles and stones
Or leaves falling to the ground
You’re pretty like so many things
So keep that in your heart
You always are and forever will be
Way more than just enough

I want to print this and pin it to my refrigerator, or frame it on a wall. The rhyming is amazing and the flow of the piece is lovely. I love every stanza. "Pretty like the mountains tall / The hills wild and untamed / Pretty like the city lights / Stars of another name" gave such strong imagery. Lovely piece, keep writing!
