Softens a face
More, a heart
This beauty, lady friend. This
Living art.
Know it, through each
Trace left now
On both my own! For warm kiss.
Warmer vow!
Telling body expressions
Emanating moods and feelings
Management of reactions to situations
Physical responses to stimulators
Evolving habits in new environments
Rights and wrongs in personal display
Attitudes and attributes in constant formation
Major expressed psychology attached to mentality
Engrossed or evolving character and ideology
Nurturing all in growth, as in
Totality, one’s identity is formed.
