                                                The Beauty of a Woman 
                                        Everyone needs to be told they’re great; 
                                                      So here’s to you!!!  

To an exceptionally beautiful woman!  

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,  

The figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.  

The beauty of a woman must be seen within her eyes,  

Because that is the doorway to her heart,  

The place where love resides.  

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,  

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.  

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,  

The passion that she sow,  

And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows! 
 

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!!
