Leave the Makeup Off

Did you know that you possessed an inner glow ? 
or that you are a wonderful sight for sore eyes to see 
but you cover it up so the true you doesn't show 
when you should be proud of your natural beauty. 
Believe me its true, when ever people see you 
they are amazed by the beauty that they have seen 
there is really no contest you are far lovelier than the rest 
for you are a genuine natural born beauty queen. 
So why do you put makeup on your face 
which conceals your rare but lovely completion? 
it wouldn't matter to me if you weren't so lovely to see 
because you'd still get all of my love and affection. 
Unlike others I met, whether its hot, cold, or wet 
your beauty is quite radiant in every season 
it should not bother you if you have a mole or two 
I mean, they are called beauty marks for a reason. 
I really don't mind your wearing lipstick too much 
although your lips look quite fine with out it 
someday some one could create a makeup as good 
as your natural beauty, but I seriously doubt it. 
Your eyes are beautiful, your face is perfectly shaped 
and your lips are firm but kiss-ably soft 
I am as happy as I can be with the you that I see 
so please just leave the makeup off.

I like this... we women are constantly sold on the fact that in someway, something is wrong with our faces. Panagiota.
