Beauty
You might be filthy rich
Or even extremely poor.
Maybe you can't be serious
Or maybe just too mature.
You might get straight A's
Or flunk out of school.
You might act like an angel
Or maybe just plain cruel.
You might be a little heavy
Or a little underweight.
Maybe you're heterosexual
Or not exactly straight.
You might be a model
Or possibly the milkman.
Maybe you're from Africa
Or the country of Japan.
Religion, career, wealth,
Looks,gender, and race
You're still beautiful.
No matter what the case.
People might fight
And disagree with you
Just don't forget
That they're beautiful too
Beauty is everywhere
Just open your eyes and see
Beauty is a lot like love
It has no cost, its free
If you ever forget this
Look in the mirror and say
"I am beautiful,
In every single way''
