Her Beauty Dwells

Her beauty dwells unfettered by Disguise, pretense or scheme But heaven-sent as dove in flight Majestic and serene She shows without, what glows within Through purpose not misplaced The warmth and grace of summer winds Where sadness melts away And from her lips flow words so kind Not earned, but just because She looks past flaws for hopeful signs Of victory, not loss When life deals blows and I need rest She offers me her arms Alee from harm with tenderness My troubles are soon calmed And though her face be more than fair Her mouth, eyes, nose and chin That regal skin cannot compare Her beauty dwells within
