Beyoned Comparison Poem by Yoftahie Abebe Abebe

Beyoned Comparison

Beyond Comparison
​Verse 1
You are a wonder, never to be repeated,
A once-in-a-lifetime soul, uniquely created.
With a beauty so rare, the world stands in awe,
A perfection of spirit, without a single flaw.
​Chorus
Oh, tell me, what essence did God use for your frame?
Twice as bright as diamonds, putting gold to shame.
Your nature is priceless, no matter can measure,
Nothing on this earth compares to your treasure.
​Verse 2
Your smile, your radiance—words fail to say,
I've never seen such beauty come across my way.
Even the strangers who pass by your side,
Stand frozen in wonder, with nowhere to hide.
​Verse 3
I searched through history, through every old tale,
To find one who matches you, but all of them fail.
Poetry was meant for the lines of a song,
But in your presence, beauty is where the 'Qine' (poetry) belongs.
​Bridge
Those who see your face, your beauty they prize,
But those who know your heart, see truth in your eyes.
The world bears witness to the grace you give,
If only for you, death didn't exist, and you could forever live.
