True Beauty
She had the kind of beauty the most people never get a chance to see
It wasn’t just her looks, but everything about her spelled true beauty
The problem was when she looked in the mirror she didn’t see what others saw
She couldn’t, wouldn’t and didn’t see it at all
Her hair fell down like golden rain
Right below her shoulders in fell on her perfect frame
Enclosed deep inside was her self-doubt
Happiness for her seemed to be an empty route
Eyes like the ocean you could fall into forever
Her fear you couldn’t see, not once, not ever
She saw joy and peace all around
But they only increased the size of her frown
Slender, but real her body curves with perfection
But she walks with no purpose or sense of direction
At times she wishes that should looked like anyone else
She wants to be anyone rather than be herself
When she smiles it’s like the whole world stands still
But it never happens; she has too many holes to fill
Someone along time ago told her she wasn’t good enough
She still believes them; they must have been rough
No one can change her mind not even a little
It doesn’t matter what they say; she is like a riddle
Her beauty remains but her passion is gone
She is like the lyrics to a sad love song
I pray every night that she’ll look for the light above
That is the only place that she will find true love
She has to be happy with herself before she can ever think to smile
Anyone who tells here otherwise is in complete denial
Her faith and her family are the only way that this can happen
Faith in God and being surrounded by love is true happiness’ patent
For she may be perfect for all we can see
But only God can see one’s true beauty
He loves us all the same but some never know
You have to look in places some are never willing to go
She wanted to see, but took a wrong path along the way
Further away she gets every day
But he remains by her side guiding her back
She just has to open her heart, while it still intact
For you can be more beautiful then all
But that just means you have further to fall
You have to love yourself and to do that you have to love him
And do his work even when the light may seem dim
For maybe it wasn’t her true beauty everyone saw
Maybe it wasn’t even her at all
For true beauty only belongs to one man
Maybe we just saw him guiding her with his hand
