Face of Grace

Do we really need make-up to seem beautiful?

Do you know that it's just another way to cover up the mistakes we made?

The lies we say will hide easier in the painted lips and the colored face.

It can be used in so many ways, yet people think this will make it all easier and much more alluring.

Are you not beautiful enough with the skin of liquid silk, or the colors of rich earth or pale snow?

Are the lashes of your eyes not long enough that they cast shadows like the wings of a bird?

Do you not like the rosy color your lips have, a color that puts rose petals to shame?

Why hide such grace and beauty behind a mask of paint and secrecy.

Your eyes sparkle in the special way that he loves...

Your skin glows as bright as liquid moon or the crisp fall or summer...

Your lips curve in delicacy and soften with colors...

Your lashes curl to perfection naturally...

Why hide your self behind this cakey and greasy mask?

Do not lose the beauty that you were gifted with.

Is it really worth masking your self?
