Girls

Gorgeous is in the eye of the beholder
I find it in those we call ‘she’
Ruddy, brown, black, pinkish white (where it’s colder)
Large, petite, buxom or wee
She’s beautiful; intrinsically

I think there’s a charm to be found in all ‘girls’ be it, beauty, physique, wit, personality, intelligence, compassion…. Crikey how long could this list get… of course… maybe I’m just an old lech ;-)

Beauty is Beauty and, unlike paint, it has no colour chart. Glad you’ve enjoyed, Erin.

I wonder how many "girls, will be offended with this one. LOL Courageous write, Terry! I say people can identify as anything they want but in a thousand years when they dig up your grave, you'll either be a man or a woman:) Great to see you again my friend:)

Thank you, Kim. I’m sure God slipped up when he made men… his second attempt - woman - was made with the benefit of hindsight. Glory be.
