Makeup Poem by Harlan Simantel

lipstick
makeup
why cover up
God's beauty?

fresh faces
in all their 'imperfections'
beautiful variety
rosy cheek from winter cold

flushed face when feeling shy
natural eyebrows
curved - short - long - noses
and below - curious toeses

subtle color of natural lips
fat lips
plain lips
thin lips

real expressions
real feelings
not makeup
human beauty - heaven's reeling
attraction ceiling - feeling!

i've seen beauty in 'ugly'
boy or girl, man or woman
the inside lights up the outside -
God's vivid life inside their animated hide
