Genuine beauty comes from within
                 herein
let it be known the world over
the man, woman in the mirror
       cannot be perfected
for true  beauty is deep routed
       in character only
                many
      are fooled and fall prey
        much to my dismay
       I speak from experience
I too, foolish and young gave too much credence
       I have since learned
to not allow myself to be concerned
       with outer appearance
       for the true essence
       of  a man, woman
                 can
       only be measured
by a compassionate, loving heart centered
       on giving and finding ways
to love unconditionally and  to always
        treat others with dignity
        that to me is true beauty!
