as I stare

wet lips and painted nails
make-up applied and hair in style
colors of the rainbow to wear
but what do I see as I stare?
she complains about weight and her height
her body not in proportions as she would like
her ideas simple
that lights her eyes like a summer glare
but what do I see as I stare?
I see a inner beauty beyond compare
a loving warmth to man's best friends
a compassionate feeling to young and old alike
attentive shoulder for those in despair
the extra miles she goes for those in need
forgetting her own and paying the price
she is not perfect
and I wouldn't have it any other way
I know what I see as I stare.
