I wonder what it would be like to be ugly for a day
Indeed, sometimes I wish I were
Unattractive, unpleasant, ‘un-charming’
Like a colourless flower without petals
That flower would attract no bees,
No hands to pluck out its flowers
No insects to take its nectar
No pleasantness to the eyes
Yes, an ugly face has its benefits
It attracts only those who can look beyond the surface
Those who see colour in paleness
Those who see beauty in plainness
But alas, like a beautiful flower I am
Insects, bees and hands I attract
Petals, nectar, all they take
Take and take but give me No
I did not make me but my maker
And so he deemed fit to make me
Beautiful for His glory, pleasant for His purpose
A flower, beautiful like no other
So it is that I am beautiful
Not for me, but for Him
In His garden I stay planted no matter what
That I might point all to Him; my Elohim

Don't concentrate on the physical Maz! That's why you attract those who don't look beyond and within. They only look at the flesh!
