Beauty

Can you see the BEAUTY in a new Mom as she holds her newborn close to her face? The tears fall, her heartbeat rises and not a hair in place. Can you see the BEAUTY in a Dad as his young son slides into home? His work clothes soaked with sweat, yelling "that's my boy" as the crowd cheers him on. Can you see the BEAUTY in a young boy as he excitedly say's "cool ride!"? Mom turns to see, as he holds the door and the man rolls inside. Can you see the BEAUTY in a little girl with lipstick from ear to ear? "I'm beautiful Mommy!" and Mommy agrees, a picture she'll treasure for years. Can you see the BEAUTY of a flower, the clouds or birds in a tree? Through the eyes of someone who has never seen, describing something they will never see. For sometimes Beauty can't be touched or seen, yet it comes in sizes big and small. Through the innocence of a child or the amazement of the blind, Love is the most beautiful of all.
