Dress her in modesty Wash her face clean Adorn her in simplicity Free her spirit to soar Where no one holds her Bound by her beauty For today she cries Because tomorrow She will be old Tinsel and paint Will not preserve her Only the freedom Found in dignity Is forever her beauty Time cannot erase Simple joy in her eyes Money cannot buy Calm peace in her mind Pride cannot preserve Her aging body Dignity is priceless Reserved for the pure Pure in mind Heart And body
"Writing is a lonely road to travel; even when arriving at the destination, certain anonymity prevails.”
A thought that came after reading this is: If dignity is reserved for the pure in mind, body, and heart, then dignity must be a rather rare trait.
Hmmmmmmm...
I know a few ladies who wear dignity like a crown and royal robe. Well they should, for your description fits each of them beautifully.
