THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

Dr Perwaiz Shaharyar 

A good mind is, often said, found in a good body

Although, there is no endurance in the appearance of a body

True, that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

We get impressed by the slim waist and broad shoulder

Wide eyes, full lips, and visible cheeks are a maze

These look stunning and create some amaze

However, true beauty in a woman is her soul

That governs her all compassion within control

Beauty is not only that, which looks attractive

Beauty must do such works, which are constructive

The face and outer appearance are fragile,

Which feel extremely charming only for a while

The silky skin, thin hair, full lips, and wide eyes

It is possible, these may give you, more surprise

Nevertheless, the physical features are not just futile

The Estrogen makes them altogether more fertile 

Nature has given women such charm and attraction

So that, men can feel towards them, the deeper fascination 

Nature knows how to grow and progress

It helps Homosapiens to protect their species and race

Women in love get more peace of mind and grace

The beauty in such women manifests by their face 

God is a great creator and women create too 

God feeds all living beings and women feeds too
