My eyes were overwhelmed By the beauty of her face How her hair shone in its bob cut Not a strand was out of place And when I walked beside her I felt privileged to be there I’d have walked a thousand miles My time with her to share Yet when she looked into the mirror A different picture met her eyes She could see just fat and ugly And what she called thunder thighs If I lived another lifetime Trying to convince her of her mistake It would have made no difference She would still be in the lake Don’t let your mind deceive you Or others who would tease You are how you were meant to be And you have no one to appease

Overwhelmed
My eyes were overwhelmed By the beauty of her face How her hair shone in its bob cut Not a strand was out of place And when I walked beside her I felt privileged to be there I’d have walked a thousand miles My time with her to share Yet when she looked into the mirror A different picture met her eyes She could see just fat and ugly And what she called thunder thighs If I lived another lifetime Trying to convince her of her mistake It would have made no difference She would still be in the lake Don’t let your mind deceive you Or others who would tease You are how you were meant to be And you have no one to appease
