I would say I’m a mediocre girl – Raised in an average, little world 

Got no extraordinary talent – No different drum or brilliant bent

No wealth or riches to flaunt – I’m nothing anyone would want

I would say I’m not beautiful – I would say I’m nothing special 

But you’ve proven me wrong – All your lovely life long 

You have searched the galaxy – Looked for precious, pleasing me 

You have made me your “youniverse” – You’ve promised me better, not worse

I said that I’m no one, just a minuscule girl – Wandering through a great, big world

I said I’m not even pretty – But you have called out to me

That I’m a shining star – No matter where we are

You say I’m a blooming rose – No matter where I grow

You say I’m beautiful – Not just pretty, not just dutiful

So today I’ll take your words – Bury them deep in my heart

I’ll let them fly like birds – Into the very deepest part

Let them be seeds of life in the dark – spiraling down deep, they’ll reach their mark 

I’ll water them with your tender love – The grace you’ve been given from above

I’ll wait for the vines that surely will sprout  — This true love – this is what life is about

Today I’ll start believing all the good you’ve said of me – How love came down and set me free 

How I was created for love – Designed to fly – Come on, let’s dance, my dear – Let’s touch the sky

I will call myself beautiful – Delightfully unusual

Because I know that’s how you see me – So today I’ll start to see the real me

The one you can already see – I’m gorgeous, I’m so love-uh-ly

I will call myself a rich, rich girl – Even as I wander through a poor world

Because I have your love – I’ve got your affection – I have your light – I’ve got your direction 

I’ve got your smile and all your dreams too – You’re always showing me what I can do 

I don’t need lots of money – ‘Cause I’ve got you, honey

You make me wealthy, baby, that’s what you do – You’re right here with me, pulling me through 

I was struggling in the dirt – So stuck in my own hurt 

My gaze caught up in the sand at my feet – Chained to this life I couldn’t leap

Felt like I was suffocating in this tomb – Endless hours in my classroom

But then you came along – And you sang me a song  

You lit a fire in my soul – You came to try to make me whole

You showed me I’m not alone – In your heart, you gave me a comfy home

You poured dreams into my heart – Told me I did have a special part

Made me raise my head to see the stars – Released me from my prison bars

So this poem is for you – For all that you have been through

You’re my hero – you’re my love – You brought me joy, you brought me love 

You are my shining star – No matter where you are

You are my blooming rose – No matter where you grow 

Together we’re beautiful – Delightfully unusual

Together rich beyond our dreams – And life is better than it seems

Together we’re gorgeous – We are love-uh-ly

Together we’re beautiful – ‘Cause I got you and you got me
