  TRUE BEAUTY
There was a time when beauty was just skin deep to me
This was back in the days of my young mentality
For I really couldn't see the forest for the trees
Just acting on feelings and hormones, and nothing up my sleeves
I would fawn over a pretty face, and pretty eyes to boot
Round hips, buttucks, nice chest, nice waist,... typical physical female attributes
I would bite my knuckles, bite my lip, whatever the case
And sometime say to myself "THAT GURL is FOIN!!!!", while contorting my face
Now, these same pretty faces that would cause my jaw to drop to the floor
Somehow don't look so attractive anymore
Fort wisdom has shown me things that are true
What looks good, isn't neccessarily good for you
Physically,... yes,... they make me want to trek the dessert sand
But they really don't know how to treat their fellow man
Which is very unfortunate, because unknowingly they ellect,...
To reap the benefits of the boomerang effect
They treat a brotha wrong, 'cause they feel they should
In their eyes it makes them look and feel good
Using their influence of beauty for purposes, self-serving
When in fact their outward beauty is a gift from God, of themselves undeserving
But what outward beauty, and beauty aids can't hide
Is the spirit that within a person abides
That when manifested shows the pomp and pride,...
Of the true nature of the person inside
What is beauty then, if not aesthetic appearance
Beauty is a spiritual attribute of the person and their very essence
The nature of who they are, not outwardly, but within
An attributes that goes much deeper than the skin
Now when I see a "vision of lovliness", that spins my mind in a twirl
I just simply look and say to myself "Pretty Girl"
And look at her inward person from where her true nature comes
For it is within, where true beauty comes from

Even more beautiful are the ones who can take a step back and see that there is a difference.
Extremely well done.

Very well written poem with some wise thoughts that we all need to grasp...I thought about the song Pretty Woman...he was only looking at the outward beauty...if we only look for that we will fail in our relationships...I think we need to balance the inner and the outer beauty.  James

It is what comes from within that makes a woman beautiful or not, only time teaches you that.  She could look like a movie star, but be a nothing and shallow inside where it counts most!!
Great thoughts  

 A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others...
