Petals In The Grass

Most Beautiful

Spit polished
No wrinkles to buff
At my most beautiful
Wasn't beautiful enough

Flowers and poetry
And all of that fluff
At my most beautiful
Wasn't beautiful enough

She bid me farewell
Today it's still tough
At my most beautiful
Wasn't beautiful enough

Now 40 and disheveled
My journey's been rough
She once found me beautiful
I wasn't beautiful enough
