PURE BEAUTY
by Sonia, 9, California, USA
Beauty is on the inside
Not on the outside
You can have pimples and warts
But still be the winner of hearts
Beauty is kindness and strength
Not fancy clothes and affluence
You can have perfect hair and be rich
But if you are vain and unkind
Your true beauty still has a glitch
An imperfect face with a kind wit
Still makes your beauty a perfect hit
That is the possession of pure, true beauty
