Beauty not Concealed

She may be a poor girl 
Begging on the street
But she has a pretty face,
Like those you’d like to meet.
She’s just a beggar girl,
Having everything it takes
For a man to turn his head
And the world to lay their stakes.
She’s fit for the silver screen
For Forbes to make a claim,
She has, what it takes
To weaken a misogynist fame.
She is undiscovered 
With undercover for clothes
She has the motion
Ramp walkers dream of most.
She has the smile
That can melt a frozen heart,
She has the style
Without fashion schooled art.
She may be poor
But rich in looks and appeal,
She may be a beggar
Yet her beauty she can’t conceal.
