SHE DIDN’T KNOW

Her flame wasn’t orange. It was white.
The kind you can’t see at the noon day bright.
Not the fickle flicker of a candle light
But a point miles off on a moonless night

She didn’t know she was beautiful
Nobody told her. I sure didn’t.
She didn’t know she was beautiful.
How could I know she didn’t know?

Her smile was not painted, red and rich.
Her bosom, no cartoon. No break-a-stitch.
And her hair was not teased to a silly nest.
She just walked by. She just walked by.

She didn’t boast about songs she wrote.
She didn’t utter the poet’s quote.
And she didn’t purr like a motor boat.
She just walked by. She just walked by.

Every time she walked by me.
I couldn’t reach but I could see

She didn’t know she was beautiful
Nobody told her. I sure didn’t.
She didn’t know she was beautiful.
How could I know she didn’t know?
