Worth more than Rubies

Some girls out there wear

Tight jeans and back baring shirts,

They get guys to look at them

Well that's not me.

When a guy looks at me

I want him to love my personality,

My humor, I want him to

Love me for me,

Not my body,

Me.

Those girls have no idea that it's only for now

That this charade will perish

And all the outward beauty

Will wither like dried roses.

That the only way to obtain and

Keep their beauty

Is to work on it from the inside.

Not with mascara, lip-gloss, or Abercrombie,

But with faith, hope, and modesty.

I want to be a princess for God and Heaven,

Not a lady of now and Earth,

And one day I hope those girls

Will understand what it's like to be a

Ruth.
