True Femininity
Is it curling the hair
Or painting the face?
Pinning on bows,
Pink ribbons and lace?
Flounces and frills,
Bracelets and rings?
Polishing nails?
Is it all of these things?
No, you can't pin it on
Like a bow in the hair.
You can't put it on
Like the garment you wear.
It's deeper than ornaments
Gracing the skin.
For true femininity
Comes from within!
It glows from a heart
That is gentle and kind,
A soul that is chaste,
An honest, pure mind.
Without inner goodness
How futile the bows,
For "pinning on petals"
Can n'er make a rose!
