Swan...

Her beauty shined from within

With her golden hair and fair skin

But she still wasn't enough for him back then.

 

Ugly duckling...

She was soon labeled

All of  her peers, joined in

 

Chanting and ranting

Ugly duckling, ugly duckling

She bowed her head and cried again and again

 

Time passed

And people moved on

She found she was better off on her own.

 

Reunions come and gone

She opted to stay at home,

Til one day she realized

 

She had become a swan...

 

No longer would she sit at home...

All alone...

No more...No more

 

Opening her door

She found freedom to explore

And everyone swore...

 

Anna May...Was gorgeous...

More so than the "chosen ones"...

Back in the school days.

 

One day she come face to face with...

Juan...but he was to good for her back then...

She sat smiled and listened while he chat...

 

How did this come about...

Your gorgeous lips, pout...

Round thighs and hips...

 

She smiled and said...

I am who I have always been...

You just never saw my beauty from within...

 

Juan, gathered courage and asked her on a date...

She smiled and said...

To late...

 

This swan...already has a mate.

 

 

Epilogue... Never Judge a person from the outside...whats on the inside, is what really counts.
