Lost Beauty

She was beautiful to all around her
Her hair flowed like running water down stream
Her skin glowed like light and was soft as fur
Eyes of amber gold look at me with gleam

People look at her with envy that burns deep
But she does not care let them envy her
She walks past swaying her hips to the beat
That plays in her head that only she hears

But as time goes on her looks disappear
Wrinkles form at the corner of her eyes
Memory lost with nothing left but fear
Sitting alone in her house left to cry

But realizes that something waits soon after
Family will wait for her and share laughter
