The moon has craters,
the Beast was disfigured,
and scabs come before healing...
Is it better to be gorgeous or angelic,
bewitching or pleasing,
dazzling or nice?
Does charming outdo helpful,
foxy trump fair,
shapely vanquish ideal?
All I know is the moon's light
soothes me, Beauty found true love,
tribulations make me stronger,
and when you laugh with me,
I'm thankful (after all these years)
fair, nice, and helpful is enough
and that you still hold my hand.

Ohhhhhhhhhh Margaret, how very touching! Having that hand to hold through the years is wonderful. I love your poem, and I am all for nice, and kind,as opposed to picture perfect. An awesome poem! You made my evening.
I agree, this is wonderfully wise and romantic ❤️ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes! Give me kindness and fairness every time!
A very sweet vision. K.
