None More Beautiful

None more beautiful She was just so beautiful Every feature of her face I can't take my eyes away just an old picture for a passport maybe I'm just trying to say In all my life I never saw anyone more beautiful I miss her so She never looked anything but beautiful Never won a contest Never stole a show But she was more beautiful than them all I will never understand how any man especially not my dad could have left her for anyone Oh yes she was beautiful inside too I guess she didn't know I wonder if in that picture he had already started to wander Does that explain the sad look in her eyes? She was beautiful young, beautiful old Beautiful the last time saw her alive Never got to say goodbye Never got to know she was dying But she knew that I was loving her We had reconciled We had enjoyed the candied almonds held hands and laughed and cried she was beautiful the day she died I had missed her for a long time But she had lost so much And left so much behind Never got to go back home And the cherished dream was stolen And that's what happens Even to the most beautiful of them all He broke her heart And he broke mine too A great chasm in my frame Left a raw and gaping wound That is what happens When families are broken No one wants to take the blame And others want to say, "For shame, "Don't worry, move on, "Life is hard for everyone." And so it is But sometimes I just have to wonder how things might have been And yet I am thankful now to have known her and to have been her child (if only for a little while) Even though sometimes I ask myself As much as I knew about her, yet Did I really even know her? But right now I know As sad as I can be right now I'm glad that she was mine if only for a time She has gone to be with God And I will follow soon But what got my attention just now was only that there were none more beautiful and that's for sure "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Thought the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah" (Psalm 46:1-3)
