Poor little Lizzie Mae ugly as could be <br />None of the boys her beauty did see <br />She was teased, mistreated by most <br />So she went on a venture <br />Seeing if folks were the same <br />From coast to coast…. <br /> <br />She lacked in beauty <br />She never dressed in style <br />But every time you saw Lizzie Mae <br />She had one heck of a smile… <br /> <br />No one got her down or made her <br />Feel badly or even blue <br />Lizzie had a heart of pure gold <br />Love filled she was and she had <br /> A gentleness about her too… <br /> <br />She had the love of Jesus written on her heart <br />From his side as an ugly girl <br />She never did part… <br /> <br />All the beautiful girls who mocked <br />Her knew not her secret to happiness <br /> Nor a reason for her to smile <br />But when they become old ladies <br />And God changes their hearts <br />They too will learn the <br />Secret after awhile…. <br /> <br />Lizzie Mae weren’t much to look at <br />But had more beauty within <br />Than all the girls shaped like hour <br />Glasses, with tanned skin… <br /> <br />She held the key to love <br />It never left her side <br />So when unattractive Lizzie Mae <br />Was in public her beauty she <br />Proudly displayed with great pride! <br />©Copyright Becky LaPrarie 2006<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poor-ugly-lizzie-mae/
