No eyeliner,
No mascara,
No lipstick,
It's not needed.

Skin tanned by sun,
Wrinkles of years lived,
Gray/white hair,
It's the look of life.

Tall by Gods grace,
Perfectly built by life,
Acceptance of past,
Understanding so few have.

Smile is care-free,
Attitude portrays knowledge,
Hands of a hard-working woman,
Knowing that whatever life gives, there is a blessing.
