True Beauty Comes From Within

Only a few have touched my soul But those that have made quite an impact I'm talking about women mostly here But some men did also attract Some male athletes can surely impress Their charisma wins the day But it's the ladies to whom I'm referring to Reside here in our cyber café Don't have to possess stunning good looks Warm hearts score bigger with me True beauty, they say, comes from within Which is what I've found it to be What amazes me is the number of sweeties Here in one place at one time Guess because there's so many on the Soup Is why I have love on my mind © Jack Ellison 2013

Scared me for a second there haha, just kidding. There are a lot of wonderful souls here on the soup. I see your inspiration is back, this is the third poem I read with a deep message, that may sound cliché but it's so true, and that is that true beauty comes from within, really resonates through the person, but the Oscar Wilde quote is still funny. "It's better to be beautiful than good, but better to be good than ugly."

Forgot to make a comment! Lordy, a mercy! What's happening to me?... Well actually, I know! The kids came home! The washing machine broke down... So took everybody's clothes to the laundry mat! Never seen so many quarters disappear in my life! at one time! Got to use one of those new fangled BIG HUMONGOUS washers! My son helped me with everything... We sat and watched everything wash and talked... More than we've done in years... LOL Talking... that is... Dragon was hipnotized by it all!
