The beauty of a woman,
is part of nature's plan,
so a flower in the garden,
is worth two in the hand.
Beauty isn't flawlessness,
nor is it perfection,
it is not a pretty face,
with a light complexion.
Beauty isn't clothes,
not a size 4,
not the colour of your skin,
or the last makeup you wore.
You seek her beauty,
through her eyes,
because that's the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
You need to look deeper,
as her beauty is not a facial mole,
but true beauty is a woman,
is reflected by her soul...
