Today, I’m Not So Pretty
Written by CarolM

Today I’m not so pretty
Time has taken toll
But I will not let it
Ruin my soul.

My soul is vibrant
It’s as alive
As it’s ever been
It’s just my outward beauty
That will suffer till the end

Someday you will understand
That outward beauty doesn’t last
But the the vibrant soul survives intact.

    Fabulous creation. But you are wrong. She is pretty

  • I always try to find beauty in everything and I agree with you, She is still pretty but I know not for much longer. She’s struggling to keep her beauty. Sometimes I feel that way to. lol.
