she is beautiful -- a poem

For my wife, Kendra


She is beautiful,
         and not like those girls in magazines. 
She is beautiful
         in the way she thinks. 
She is beautiful
         for that sparkle in her eye,
    when she's talking about things she cares about. 
She is beautiful
         for her ability to make others smile
     with jokes that might make others blush. 
No, she's not beautiful based on something 
     as temporary as looks. 
She is beautiful in a way that you know
     her beauty will last. 
She is beautiful, deep down in her soul.
