Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

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.

Caren Krutsinger November 1, 2021 at 10:48 AM I cannot imagine having myself cut up to look "beautiful" it seems silly to me and I do not like pain. Shirley Hawkins November 1, 2021 at 3:42 PM Have you seen some of the results!
