My Girl Is Ugly-Made-Pretty

They say you are ugly
Yes! My love that's what they see
but within you I see beauty

Your head is too big
but but they don't know
wisdom made it full
wise girls are more beautiful
they inwardly glow

Your breastless chests
characteristic of males
but we learnt in tales
that courage is masculine
On beauty's list 
courage rules the rest

Aren't your 
hipless thighs
and bony butts masculine too?
males are strong
for strong girls African boys long

Your thick lips speak no lies
Your mouse ears do not eavesdrop
Your bulging eyes 
Sees not through wallswalls

Your attitude
makes up pulchritude
I love your looks
My Love, you're beautiful

they say beauty is only skin deep or is in the eye of the beholder... i have met many very beautiful people who are hollow empty shells but some less pretty people have a inner beauty that shines for all the world to see and will never fade like a pretty face will. excellent write. hugs Jan xxx
