Beauty Ain't A Number

Beauty isn't the number

on your bra strap

Nor the number on your IQ test

Hell it ain't the number

On your bank statements either

 

Not the number on your waist line

Or the amount of teeth you have

Not how many people

Laugh at your jokes or have your number

 

Beauty is the room in your heart

The space you allow

For all people

All creeds

All religions

All colors

All living things

 

Beauty is the respect

You have for yourself

And others

 

Beauty is the strength

To stand up for those

Who are being tread upon

 

Your actions

make you beautiful

Not your body

 

Your beauty is what you make of it
