Yes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. As it is, and always will be.

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

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. Pandita

You are so right, Robert. Beauty exists inside and out. Probably more inside than out. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments my dear friend!

Well written Charles, and yes, behind the glitter, glamour, advertising, and modelling, it's not porcelain at all - just ordinary people like the rest of us - thank you Charles - Lindsay

G'day Lindsay, I love how you put it. Just ordinary people like us, all the rest is just an image.. Thank you my friend - Charlie

Wonderful, Charles. Enough of fake hair colored, facelifted, vein removed floozies. The real deal is a veritable steal. ~ gw
