Something Beautiful
Is something that stands out.
It can shine so bright it nearly blinds you
Or it can be gentle
Almost like a candle’s flame

Something Beautiful
Is something that makes you smile.
It makes you feel warm and happy
And safe.

Something Beautiful
Is something you hate to lose.
That when it leaves you behind
Takes all the light and warmth with it.

Something Ugly
Is something that drags you down.
It locks you away in the dark and cold
Until even you bones feel the chill

Something Ugly
Is something that brings tears to your eyes.
It is that feeling of loss so great
That the world around you has stopped turning
And everything has gone still and silent.

Something Ugly
Is when everything you’ve ever known
Has been ripped away
Without warning.

Something Beautiful
Makes it right.

Something Beautiful
Will come in and pick you up.
It will chase away the darkness and bring back the sun
And the warmth.

Something Beautiful
Will shine like a guiding star and bring you home
Will say
“I will keep you safe.”

Something Beautiful
Will remind you that you aren’t alone
When things are dark and cold
And the world has stopped turning
And everything has gone still and silent.
