Something more beautiful.
There is something more beautiful,
More beautiful than curves and contours,
Than valleys and mountains of body geography,
It is decency and modesty,
And integrity and honesty,
Truth and loyalty,
Rooted in an almighty God,
There is a reason why,
Even Marilyn Monroe,
Physically attractive beyond compare,
Went out with presidents,
Successful career,
Yet hooked her life to drugs,
A life she would later take away herself,
There is something beautiful,
Something more beautiful in deed!

*I added the last couple of lines to the original poem I wrote at the bequest of a dear brother and friend who thought it makes the poem read better and I agreed - his name is Nkwain, thanks bro :) :).
