Dear God, asked a little maiden,
bestow me with tremendous beauty,
one that inspires artists for eternity,
people would strife for a glimpse of me,
fight wars, propose to get down on a knee,
shine me in colours that I am incomparable.
All throughout the Almighty listened,
ever so smiling with lips fastened,
Dear Helen, he replied in all his grandeur,
Be careful what you wish for.
