The Singing Card

You see, an exchange of young hearts
Calls for flaunt and display
After a long wait, finally
It was Valentines Day

Painted my lips a pretty pink
Curled my hair overnight
For young lads with hearts in their hands
I must have been a sight

He came to pick me at five sharp
With a solitary red rose
And an envelope, very pink
That's my color, he knows

He gently kissed my cheek as I
Opened the envelope
‘To my sweetheart’ the pink card said
I was high without dope

‘You are so beautiful’, so it
Sang out clear, loud and wide
I blushed deep red, he quickly said
I meant from the inside

A girl needs to hear she's pretty
Her eyes gems,her skin silk
Inner beauty save for later
I blabbered in deep sulk

You said it, Sara, a girl does not get all dolled up for her beau to see her "inner beauty". Congratulations on your win. ~karam~
