inner quality
beauty is all i see
in your heart and in your eyes
the beauty you bring out
as freely as the open skies
my love is ever growing
in your presence I long to be
my heart is overflowing
with my love for thee
they say chivalry has died
it’s drifted so far away
but it will never die
if I have anything to say
your honor is dear
your wishes divine
your knight in shining armor
is the sole wish of mine
such beauty as yours is rare
it simply mystifies me
the inner quality is there
for all the people to see
your inner qualities abound
so alive and so free
like none that I’ve found
you’re so precious to me
no gem can compare
in beauty or in worth
you’re what I’ve been searching for
since the time of my birth.
