Jerry Brotherton Poet Rhyme

A Beautiful Soul

Your beauty
            does not need to wear a skimpy bikini
            or hide behind a painted mask of vanity
Your beauty
           may push against the edges of the mold
           but that is a mold, cold men created blindly
Your beauty
           does not yield to the encroachment of time
           but transforms to embrace reality
Your beauty
           is in a smile with crooked lips
           the tears shed to offer others sympathy
Your beauty
           is in arms outstretched for a hug
           and in a heart filled with dignity
Your beauty
           reads my words before they are written
           it inspires my hopes, dreams, and poetry
