Beauty Is

Her profile’s not a perfect silhouette, she bares no shapely leg or heaving breast; the voice not of a nightingale coquette enslaving countless men it has impressed. She cannot hover like a bird in flight nor even glide with poise across the floor; she will not set a lusting world alight where men are beating pathways to her door. But she’s a lovely lady none the less, the winning smile within her eyes one part; a bubbly nature flowing to excess shares love and joy that overfills her heart. Felicitous affection thus belies the notion--beauty's pleasing to the eyes.

I was married for thirty seven years. To me my wife was as beautiful when she died as ever she was when we first met.

Thank you, hugs are something I believe in. They can work even as pain killers. (From experience.)

As a young teenager I was told, every woman is beautiful, in her own way. Now around fifty years later I see no reason to doubt what a lifetime has proven correct.

Thank you, this was written awhile ago but I have never had reason to doubt it's veracity.
