Through the Beholders Eyes

You may not be a star 
But your face shines very bright 
If you were floating in the atmosphere 
I would see you late... at night

You may not own a fortune 
Or drive a fancy car 
But you're rich and full of kindness 
And that will take you... very far
 
You may not be intelligent 
But you have a thoughtful heart 
And that is more important to me 
Even more than... being smart 

You may not be a princess 
Or a princes lucky wife 
But to me you wear that crown 
Because there's beauty in... your life
 
You may not have a shapely figure 
Or walk with sex appeal
But there's something sexy about you girl 
Must be that you... are real

Pandita Sietesantos Date: 8/31/2018 8:09:00 AM Charlie, this is superlatively beautiful! I wish more people would think this way instead of being superficial! We need to see beyond the physical and see true beauty as qualities that are reflected from within! Excellent write! Love and hugs.

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/21/2018 8:58:00 PM Wonderful, Charles. Enough of fake hair colored, facelifted, vein removed floozies.
