Beauty

Beauty is in the eye
Of the beholder
If someone truly loves you
They'll feel the same for you, as you grow older

A few more pounds
A lot less hair
Wrinkles and all
The love's still there

They hold your hand
When you're sick and hurt
They nurture you, fulfill your needs
Even help to put on a shirt

In life everyone dreams of love
Dreams of being wanted and needed
There are so many of us out there
Who stay where we're poorly treated

If the one you're with
Can't see your beauty, what's inside
You should take a look at your relationship
Although sometimes hard to decide

If your beauty is not truly seen
Beneath your silky skin
The love they have for you cannot be true
Not all of us are trophies, hearts we have to win

You deserve to be a treasure
Be treated like a queen
You don't need a selfish man
Who's just useless and mean

While you sit sad and lonely
Constantly debating
Don't waste another moment
There's a king out there waiting

2004 Denise Clark
