Mom-Kind of Beautiful

I didn't like country music as a kid. Too much twang! But as I grew up and realized that I didn't like the words to the rock and roll, I decided to switch from those electric guitars to the acoustic ones that accompanied the twang I had tried to avoid.

All wrapped up in that twang were words worth listening to!

Country songs are so clever! It's like the southern accent is a disguise to make you think a redneck is singin' but really it's like a rocket-scientist of relationships, revealing the mysteries of the universe of love.

If I were a country song-writer, I would try to make up some of them there clever lyrics about mommies who ain't so purty on the outside but all the love they got on the inside changes 'em to be beautiful after all... somethin' like this here li'l poem I done wrote:

Mom-kind of Beautiful!

She's got strands of gray, in her hair of auburn,
but she knows they grow out of love and concern.
The bags under her eyes make her look like a zombie,
but she knows it's cuz she's a day AND night mommy.
Her baby's daddy don't complain 'bout extra handles on her hips;
he squeezes 'em tight as he kisses her lips.
She's Mom-kind of beautiful!
She's Mom-kind of beautiful!
She smells a bit like vomit and poo,
That might not be very pleasant to you,
But to her happy family, it means that she's the one and only Mommy
And she's Mom-kind of beautiful!
Yes, she's Mom-kind of beautiful!
Her deflated chest shows she's given the best.
Her shoulders are stained from when no tissues remained.
She's Mom-kind of beautiful!
Oh, She's Mom-kind of beautiful!
Her hands, though so gentle, well, they ain't soft,
They've worked so hard, keepin' our home aloft.
Wrinkles line her forehead, frame her eyes and her smile,
They're evidence of
her incredible love,
And that's Mom-kind of beautiful!
Yes, she's Mom-kind of beautiful!
I know there are models whose faces and curves
Capture the cameras and fame of the world,
But this Mom's a model who's an example and serves
 A much better purpose in building up girls!
Cuz she teaches us all
'bout true beauty within
Beauty that comes from loving children.
Yes, She's Mom-kind of Beautiful!
I wanna be Mom-kind of Beautiful!
