To someone who is beautiful all over

It is absolutely wonderful to have

someone in your life who is caring

and giving and gracious¹ — some whose

smiles are live sunshine and laughter

and whose words always seem to say

the things you most like to hear

because those magical people are really

beautiful inside.

And it is a special privilege to

know someone whose outward appearance

is a delight just to see — someone who

lights up a room with radiance and

who lights up my little corner of the

world with a loveliness it has never

known before because special people

like that are really beautiful outside.

But most of all, it is one of the

world's most special blessings² to

have a person in your life who can

add so much pleasure and such magnificence

to the days — as you have to mine

because you're someone who is beautiful

all over.
