The Beauty Apparent

My daughters will learn in their own time, Given they have the chance to grow. It’s important to tell them before it’s too late Of something I think they should know. It’s not important, the clothes you wear Or where you buy them from It’s more important to gives thanks To those from whom they come It’s not important, if your nails Aren’t painted just oh so right. It’s more important to lend your hand And not be afraid to fight. Your appearance, you see, is just a way To recognize you from the start. But, the beauty apparent is clearly seen When one’s gazing upon your heart. You are my girls, true beauties, I’d say And so would others, too. So don’t worry about looking the part, Just worry about being you. You’re both the best that you could be, My two little princess girls. I wouldn’t change a thing about you, You’re the most beautiful in my world.
