The answer is yes I can and always do, for though it's the outer beauty that attracts, it's the inner beauty that counts, as many discover too late. Take care, Richard

Yes, my dear...thank you for seeing the truth here. Simple words...but the truth is profound...The reason for many broken hearts....the reason for many trips to the beauty salon....the reason for trips to the shrinks...happy pills....eating disorders.....yes, and so much more. Thanks for the visit...Hugs

Yes! The world is far more beautiful when you see people's inner beauty.

Men just look better as they age....I'd take a Sean Connery now than A Sean Connery of yesteryear anytime. What about Pierce Brosnon....My definition of an ideal looking man....He looks even more handsome today...It just isn't fair.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......yes, I'm letting off steam. It breaks my heart that I'm not who I used to be....It just breaks my heart....

Yes, Richard....That coming from someone who is outwardly beautiful is a true statement indeed! ;)

Such a fragile balance is needed with knowing self-worth, without embracing the lips of arrogance & conceit. A tremendous question.

Yes, yes I can still see the inner beauty my friend, that is where my focus is on anybody! I find the inner beauty to be the best beauty of all, and the beauty that shines brighter than any other! This is a glorious and harmonious write my friend! I really enjoyed reading this enlightening poem this morning! What a powerful piece, Great Work!!
