In the Eye of the Beholder

She still believes
The beauty she once knew
Is still there

And though she acts childish
And wears dresses
Meant for someone much younger
There’s no denying 
That, that time 
Has long since past

Still
She believes others see her
As she sees herself
And if beauty
Is in the eye of the beholder
Then for God’s sake

Will someone please
Get her, her glasses
