Beautiful

Barely a glance she makes at the oval mirror. Everyday she's the same, so why even bother? A dab of sweet perfume is all she needs. Unnatural coloring will never grace her hair, Those sparkling eyes cannot be enhanced by mascara. It is only a natural blush that touches her face. Finally, a simple piece of jewelry will do, nothing more. Underneath her skin lies true beauty to behold. Lip gloss could not brighten that still confident smile.

Thank you so much, Connie. I wish more women would just love themselves and not feel the need to change and be "perfect". Beauty comes in many forms not just one :)
