Beauty seduces all of our senses. Beautyʼs seduction can be as obvious as the striking good looks of a man or woman or as subtle as the charms of a shaggy dog with loving brown eyes. We find beauty in the wonders of nature. Beauty offers us a symphony of colors with every sunrise and sunset and reveals to us her brash power through a storm at sea.

You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there… yes that’s you.

~*~

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful, and helpful, with honest
beautiful eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that’s you… not one bit of spite.

~*~

You’re one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers

Collards is green,
my dog’s name is Blue
And I’m so lucky to have
a sweet thang like you.
Yore hair is like corn silk
a-flapping in the breeze.
Softer than Blue’s
and without all them fleas.

***

You move like the bass,
which excite me in May.
You ain’t got no scales
but I luv you anyway.
Yo’re as satisfy’n as okry
jist a-fry’n in the pan.
Yo’re as fragrant as “snuff”
right out of the can.

***

You have some’a yore teeth,
for which I am proud;
I hold my head high
when we’re out in a crowd.
On special occasions,
when you shave under yore arms,
Well, I’m in hawg heaven,
and awed by yore charms.

***

Still them fellers at work,
they all want to know,
What I did to deserve
such a purdy, young doe.
