BEAUTY WITHIN
A striking woman,
beautiful beyond words
yet, she is alone
slender, dark and tall
with a perfect figure
oval face without flaw
perhaps too stunning
she is alone
looking closer, I see
a tear appear on her cheek
slowly, I approach her
softly I say I understand
sharing her pain and sorrow
reaching out I tell her
"your inner beauty shines bright"
you are not alone.................
