If Aiming For Beauty
Pretty, Is Nice
But Plain Vanity
Is A Venal-Vice
Inner Beauty: Is A Necessity
Outer Beauty: (Maybe) Superficiality
Outer Beauty: May Impress Memory
But Inner Beauty: Lasts An Eternity
Now, As A Teen
I Did Preen
Too Much Esteem
Oldest, Sister Seen …
So, As A Teen, I Was Told
Advice To Shape- Mold
Words: Worthy-Gold
Listen: Behold …
“You Are Pretty, Yes It’s True
But Just Wait A Minute or Maybe Two
All In Time and Life’s View
Will Come Someone … Prettier Than You
So, Don’t Be A Victim-in-Error
Like The Queen, due to Snow White and A Mirror
Of Course, There’ll Be Somebody Fairer
So, Don’t Be A Silly-Comparer …
… ‘Cause, The Prettiest Person
Is Ugly To Someone
And The Ugliest Person
Looks Good To Somebody, Hon …
Lovely, Is As Lovely Do …
Be A Portrait and Not Just Surface-Cute
Be A Shame, If Someone Spends Time With You
And Sees, Ain’t Nothing Else, Or Nothin’ New
‘Cause I’ve Seen People
Who Were ‘Knock-Outs’! …
That is, Until
They Opened Their Mouths
And Revealed Hostility
In Hearts
Made Attraction-Desirability
… Depart
See: Mean and Envy
And A Barb-Wire Tongue
And Harm and Dumb …
Starts When Young
So, Strive To Be Kind
A Gentle Heart-Smile
Clean and Sweet
And Your Own-Love-Style
… Also Godly Fear
And Inner Beauty Will Appear
Your Outer Beauty Will Be Clear …”
… My Stunning Sister, I Still Hear …
“Beauty … Is In The Eye Of The Beholder”
Especially True … As We Grow Older
(Advice From My Sister, Jenny (Who Is
Resting In Peace) ... I Am Remembering, Jenny...
I Am Remembering...)
