The quest for beauty is a fad never-ending
Begins in the morning and ends in the evening
When the next day comes, the cycle repeats
The one who maintains keeps a great feat

At some point you ask, “When is it ending?
Is there no destination? Is there no ceiling?”
Is it all for naught as the years bring decay
To that prized beauty and you don’t have a say?
