            Beautiful

Isn’t she beautiful?

These were the first words

I ever heard,

the first I ever learned—

or, at least, the first I can remember.

I still hear these words

all the time,

from family, friends,

strangers, too.

But … think about it … just a minute …

Isn’t she beautiful?

That’s a question,

isn’t it?
