She Glows

She lights up a room  by simply walking through the door
And even when she's gone she leaves it brighter than before
She has that effect on almost everyone she knows
Though she cannot admit it to herself
She glows

There's something in her smile that chases shadows from my heart
That certain way she laughs just seems to drive away the dark
She leaves a trail of sunshine everywhere she ever goes
Though she may not accept it in her heart
She glows

She's just unaware of how the heart inside her shines
How her incandescent spirit could have lit this soul of mine
So everyday I tell her, hoping deep inside she knows
Like the beacon on the seashore leading home
She glows
