Once Beautiful

When I met you your skin was black now it white When I met you your hair was curly not it is straight When I met you your nose was flat now it is narrow When I met you your lips were thick now they are thin What happen What happen You were so beautiful When I first met you God, please give her back her beauty

Unfortunately, too many people get caught up with with fads and the fashionable and are changing their image to conform to what society defines as "beautiful." In the process they lose themselves, their real beauty, and their true identity! A-7 for this very exceptional piece that is so deep, powerful, insightful and inspirational! BRAVO! Pandita
