Women's Ageless Strength = Beauty

I just found out this poem lost the Oil of Ollay poetry contest--- I guess my view of beauty is way different than theirs...

Women’s Ageless Strength = Beauty


A mother lifts a car to save a baby.
Teacher/grandma/friend, shows children how to sing, dance draw, ‘n’ be free.
Girlfriends go from Go-Go Girls to “You Go! Girls.”
Women make gardens grow, offices greet, dresses sing, and homes nurture.
We turn personal tragedy into opportunities to heal.
We talk it all through ---surviving losses, herassment and pain greater than birth.
We learn from our experiences, then lightly share our wisdom.
Taking good care of ourselves first, spreading care out to the world,
We pile up love, hope, faith and bring inspiration; making us unstoppable.
You don’t have to ask us how old we are,
Our beauty defies age, and time.
Our loving strength emanates beyond all dimensions.
