Written Feb 16 2026 for the Beauty contest
Beauty is found in a cracked face Emerald eyes that smile under hair of gray And a chipped tooth that couldn’t afford to repair Unique handsome frame dares not denim despair Tough hands from working years so hard Youthful laugh matches yellow youthful heart Elegant somehow in a pair of jeans You are a hero to the whole family Every day you make silver sacrifices Only you know when there is a crisis For you shield us your future legacy Because of your love we live life happily Even when we fall short you give grace Hope is a rope your tongue words say Onyx clouds you chain smoked perhaps too long Looking at empty chair wishing you weren’t gone Dancing in your honor to your favorite song Even if life was hard you never did wrong Reminiscing and missing the beauty of the strong
