If only our eyes saw souls

A dedication to all women!

I forgot to tell her how beautiful she is. 

Because of how shallow my mind can be sometimes.

Affected by this complicated society. They would say she looks ugly. 

To me, beauty became so much more than what we were born with. 

Appearances don’t really matter when people decide to open up and connect with the soul.

Been single for a while now, and like most guys, I’ve called a lot of women pretty, cute, hot, stunning, sexy, gorgeous, telling them they look so damn good. 

Telling women they’re beautiful based on their appearances; which can be quite deceiving at times. 

I want to say sorry for telling most of you that you’re beautiful only because of what genes you received from your parents. 

I should’ve said that you were beautiful because of who you’ve become as a woman. 

How can you only be proud of what’s on the outside when you have this shining personality harder than diamonds molded by all the hardships and pain you’ve been through, locked inside that decorated treasure chest. 

From now on, 

I’ll make sure I say that you’re brave, brilliant, resilient, and beyond amazing.

Not because I don’t think you’re good looking, but because you are beautiful in so many different ways.

Well this was sweet. :) I was always of the mind that beautiful is a universal word for the best in anyone, and anything. A beautiful man, a beautiful woman. A beautiful poem, a beautiful painting. There are so many layers to so many different things, its hard to capture it all in a word so shallow as 'pretty' or 'stunning'. Lovely poem! Or shall I say beautiful? haha

captured my attention, a delightful read and resonates with my perceptions of women..keyword: soul..if you're ugly on the inside you can never be beautiful on the outside..looks fade but your spirit shines inside a beautiful soul

The soul is indeed too beautiful! Looks fade for sure. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. Thanks!!

Ralph my sweet friend once again as I peruse your wonderful hearts words I have stumbled across yet another lovely lil' gem of a write that you have shared with us here...:) Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder they say my lovely friend is it not? I agree with what you say we are all guilty in our lives at one time or another of looking at the outward appearance of someones 'beauty' and not the 'inward' beauty they possess inside and this is so terribly wrong. For one can be so very ugly inside and very beautiful on the outside and vice versa don't you agree? I have known some people that weren't beautiful in societies eyes but in my eyes were the most perfect because they had the most beautiful of hearts....I was one that was always looked over because I was not considered in societies eyes as a 'beautiful one' but they didn't know my heart and the beauty inside I hold.This is such a lovely write my new friend...:)
