A Size Too Small

No matter nature’s placement woes
              Of ears and lips and eyes and nose
Or beauty’s plan for symmetry
               That makes us each a you and me

No matter fingers, hands or feet
           Or weight to lose and scales to cheat
Of length and girth for short or tall
                        Appendages a size too small

The heart of kindness knows no rules
       Of gracefulness that’s learned in schools
Instead its beauty rests assured
                     Its favor need not be implored

For love which guides a gentle soul
              That cares and carries love’s patrol
Needs not to worry form’s design  
                         Most beautiful is love divine
