The Beholder

The most attractive woman I know
Is not beautiful.
She has crooked teeth
Raccoon eyes
Bird's nest hair
And a bony face.
But she's also got
Poise
Intelligence
Empathy
And humour.
If she walked past me on the street,
I'd turn around for a second look.
If she talked to me,
I'd look in her intense brown eyes
And listen with my mind and my heart.
If she gave me her friendship
I'd cherish it.
Because what she is on the inside
Reflects on the outside.
And they're both beautiful.
