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
