Hidden Beauty

Plastic surgery does not come free, I earned the lines life etched on me. I have frowned, laughed, smiled, grimaced, Have all put character on my face. My grey hair and fading eyes, Are truly me, I've no disguise, Or need to hide. I hope my beauty lives inside.

Hello Shirley ... true beauty comes from the soul and no amount of visual beauty can match that - thank you Shirley - Lindsay

I cannot imagine having myself cut up to look "beautiful" it seems silly to me and I do not like pain.

I believe it does, Shirley. All real beauty comes from inside. You are authentic, and that is beautiful!
