Something about her draws

She has a smile that melts

An icy heart

And a heart that smiles

Like a jump start

Something about her draws 

Like magnet to steel

Like moth to a flame

Like a hook on a reel

Or a child to a game


Something about her draws


The pull of gravity

Please do not set me free

A smile that draws

A heart to thaw


Inner beauty

A gentle soul

A faithful heart

More than rote

Exceeding a start


When all that is visible fades

There is a truth that remains

And when the exterior fades

The central soul remains
