It is not because you are beautiful Or that look I see within your eyes Or the height of every wistful willow That reaches so far unto the skies It is not because the world goes round And all the seas lap around your toes Or the merry go round that makes you smile Or that lovely crinkle you have in your nose It is not because you walk with grace And blades of grass bow to your wake And every mighty mountain trembles From the soft footsteps that you take It is not because the snows will melt From the pure radiance of your glow Or the hunger of the parched Serengeti Will bleed anew as you make rivers flow It is not because you are beautiful That the Sun shines down every day And every blade of grass that is cut Turns into the most glorious yellow hay It is not because the world goes round That makes life every brand new day It is just because You are you

About this poem:
It is more about friendship, true friendship is nice to have, especially for a mainly loner like me.
From one romantic to another, well done my friend...Ken

Powerful Rob. Wow she is one commanding beauty of your love. To be credited the cause of having a brand new day is such an amazing tribute. Lucky for the both of you and I hope it will be for so long if not forever...
Awesome my friend.

I really like how your write rises to its ending Rob.
Hi, trurorob, It is not because the snows will melt From the pure radiance of your glow. Now, I could use some of that today. Your poem captures the feeling of awe and delight in just because You are you. A lovely write.

Just beautiful
I wrote a poem some time back called "Just Because". I think your "Not Because" is a whole lot better. Nicely penned.
