She is Beautiful

She is beautiful

Not gorgeous like the supermodels

Or delicate like the princesses of old

She is beautiful in her own way

She is familiar but not imposing

She is sweet but not overbearing

She is cheeky but not the least bit naughty

She has a heart of gold, at least she would like to think so

Life has taken her over leaps and bounds

She is still standing, determined and stoic

She has plans and she will keep making them

Until the day God deemed "Your time is up"

Once upon a time she had wished for a prince charming

But ended up with different varieties of frogs

She will no longer wonder, or search for him

For the love she seeks is within herself

Life will go on

Life is full of promise

It is also full of beauty

For the taking

She will immerse herself in life

in love

in beauty

in gratitude

in humility

until the end of her days
