Is She Beautiful?


Beaming bride, trim waist, soft hands.
Gazing, wondering, dreaming,
Heart that flutters, lips speak love
Beauty—Unquestioned

Toddling child, innocent, sweet
Trusting, loving, laughing,
Bright eyes sparkle, plump cheeks grin
Beauty—Pure

Mother bustling, busy day, long night
Worrying, teaching, leading
Prayers of pleading, Hands that sooth
Beauty—Enduring

Winner of bread, student of books
Caring, striving, serving
Dreams yet fulfilled, ache in her chest
Beauty—Undaunted

Maker of homes, gazing ‘round, empty nest
Traveling, enjoying, supporting
Letters of love, faces to greet
Beauty—Refined

New adolescent, childhood gone
Trying, shying, becoming
Freedom seeking, future looming
Beauty—Blossoming

Woman of age, graying and bent
Slowing, accepting, remembering
Spirit contented, sacrifice made
Beauty—Tested

Daughters of God, young and old
Striving, falling, rising
Beauty inherent, Blessings endowed
Beautiful—All
