Beard Love
Shining strands of manliness,
Rose on my face when I turned seventeen.
It felt like the time of worthiness,
For the unseen was then made to be seen.

Combs, trimmers, razors and blades,
Befriended me and gave me good looks.
Dapper shapes on my cheeks had grades,
And the soul patch was never on bad books.

Anchor, Balbo, Goatee, Royale,
And a three-day stubble makes a neat portrayal.
The Short-Box style is purely loyal,
When it gets touched up with some coconut oil.

The greed for comforts may fade some day,
But the love for my beard grows day by day.
Thank you God, for my genes, by the way!
And a Clean-Shave is now, the new cliché.

Who doesn't like their mother in this wold?
When she kisses my head, she finds it weird.
Beard is an emotion, not just a word,
It's significance just keeps me cheered.
