Personal Beauty

When I was young.....
My personal beauty was of great concern to me,
Now that I am older, wiser and mature..........
My personal beauty beauty is of even greater concern.

I love the honesty in this piece. I feel we all want to look our best and as we see the years pile up on our presence we strive to do all we can to stop it. Excellent David! : ) xxoo

I’m like, “what! Where did that wrinkle come from! Not another one” and especially when the wrinkle intersects and looks like a Y. We could start a forest fire of conversation off your poem :)
