How Could Anyone?

July 27, 2023

(For Lex, My Darling)

How could anyone hate you?

You stand up for those you love with a ferocity like no other You love with your whole heart with such passion that even I can tell

How could anyone hate you?

You’re beautiful and kind A smile that lights up every room If people hate that, then that’s their problem Not yours

How could anyone not love you?

If you materialized in the chair next to me I would cry with joy The people that get to see your lovely self everyday Have a gift like no other

How could anyone not love you?

I don’t know what’s wrong with them But I do know that I love you Without reservation or condition Today, tomorrow, always
