Hidden Beauty

Love and the homely virgin

How could we ever have known?

If only they had considered

Why she never left home

Shallow are those in society

Who only considered her looks

Yet to really find out about her

Look deep in her crannies and nooks

If those who were so dismissive

Who only saw a homely girl then

Would not see the hidden beauty

Within was an extraordinary gem

Society judges by appearance

Short-sighted standards for sure

If only we were judged based on character

Those qualities that truly endure

The homely and lonely virgin

A pure-heart who’s never been kissed

The world is darker not knowing

Just what a gem they have missed
