If a woman is a lady <br />Then things will always be the same <br />For time won’t change her elegance <br />Her poise and beauty will remain. <br /> <br />An example of good manners <br />And propriety is assured <br />Regardless of life’s station <br />Be she rich or very poor <br /> <br />A gentlewoman holds the attention <br />Of men, both youth and sage <br />For her inner beauty bathes them, <br />Regardless of her age. <br /> <br />Though lines may mar once flawless skin <br />Her head will still be held up high <br />For a woman who is a lady <br />Remains a lady until she dies.<br /><br />Irene C S ClarkHogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/born-a-lady/
