Where a Man Finds Beauty

Men seek beauty in woman
But still they want more,
In truth they’re not certain
What they’re looking for.

Savoir faire can suggest that	
There’s nothing to hide.
A look or a smile that
Invites men inside.

Cleanliness is a plus too
Though his home’s a mess
With incomplete projects
He’s loathe to address.

But the path to his heart’s joy
Is never that straight,
You’re likely to lose it
If you rush the gate.

Though man’s pride is important
Don’t give up your own,
Don’t fret over his words
But honor his tone.

The beauty you need is not
Bought in a shoe store,
And stories uncertain
May show you the door.

Honor your deepest feelings,
To your heart be true,
And beauty discovered,
Will likely be you.
