Why Change Anything

 

By Bud Lemire

God made people, to be as beautiful as they are
So many are much more beautiful, by far
You don't need botox in your lips, no way
It just makes you look like a freak, every day

You don't need to change anything, why get a tattoo
The body is much better looking, remaining the true you
Don't need to shave the eyebrows, I like how they look
If you can't paint very well, it makes you look like a kook

I'm into natural, just be as you're meant to be
Don't you see your own beauty, that is what I see
You don't need to change anything, for me
The beauty I behold in you, makes it the key

The body is perfect, accepting it is what you should do
You can't always undo your choices, once you go through
I go for personality, you don't need to change a thing
Let your character shine, that will give you a zing

Personality, and having a loving heart
Now that to me, is a work of art
Be happy and content, with how you were made
Don't change anything, you don't need an upgrade

After seeing some people with too much botox in their lips,
it had me thinking. So many people are concerned about
their looks, and trying to improve it, when they don't need to.
If only they could see the beauty they have, without changes.
That beauty that is the soul, that is shown in their personality.
