A Rare Beauty

A rare beauty indeed,
In intelligence, and body and face and form
And in her personality, too.
She makes me question,
When seeing women who pale in comparison
Having to maintain their own looks---
They are not too smart,
They are not too beautiful,
They are not too  good for marriage;
I realize she is superior,
Thus, I will not shame her inferiors anymore.
She talks of her cohort's self deceit
And I say, "Let them be a little deceived
"If you are the standard."
