To Be Beautiful
To be beautiful
you don't have to be beautiful to "see."
Beauty is beauty in fact when it is the way you act.
To be beautiful
you don't have to flaunt beautiful to daunt.
Beauty is beauty in truth when it is the show of couth.
To be beautiful
you don't have to trade beautiful to shade.
Beauty is beauty in flair when it is the way you care.
To be beautiful
you don't have to host beautiful to boast.
Beauty is beauty in case when it is the show of grace.
To be beautiful
you don't have to be beautiful to "see."
Beauty is beauty in fact when it is the way you act.
