The Secret To Beauty

There is a secret to beauty you know
And it doesn’t lie outside
It lies within those who believe
That they were made just right

It doesn’t depend on what you weigh
Or how you style your hair
It doesn’t account for imperfections
It simply doesn’t care

The secret is that we are all beautiful
Just the way we are
And our beauty shines from inside out
The better prize by far

hello Kimberly, how are you? deep within every wall, beauty is not just on the outside. Its a skin deep treatment that only the ones who don't prance it around, wear it better than any prize by far.. thanks for sharing,..p.d.
