My Beautiful One -1

Hey, My Beautiful One

As everyone says,
you are so beautiful,
As everyone knows,
you're greatly admired for your beauty 
As everyone thinks,
you might get whatever 
and whoever you wish 
but no one - except me - 
is an easy fish served on your dish

Believe it or not,
Beauty is a short period of time,
and please tell me what makes you think
the world goes around you and why

I suggest you
think it over and over
natural beauty on your face 
is not a long-lasting cover

One day
when the time 
for you to be over the hill
knocks on the door and 
all you have today
seems like a distant dream,
Be sure
life you will have then may leave, 
on your tongue, 
a taste of sour cream
with a loud scream

At that time,
Attempt - if you like - to get your hair brush
and try to comb your hair
in front of the mirror
wishing to be as beautiful 
as you once used to,
Who - except me - do you think 
will care about you?

Over the years 
your beauty will have faded
litle by little
and you will have become an old woman 
with hair as white as snow
"Life is a river of no return", as you know

Oh, My Beautiful One
Of course, you have the right to do nothing
by sitting and waiting under the shade of your beauty
but never let your pride keep you from admitting the truth,
All of a sudden,
what you do not expect today is going to happen

Yes, when you have got to the point in your life
where you may have seen no one around you
Don't worry at all, My Beautiful One,
there will be someone 
waiting  to welcome you
I am certain
you can easily guess who
