Hi Deb, This poem rings of John Keats "Ode to a Grecian Urn": "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." Thanks for a wonderful/thoughtful poem reminding me of Keats. You never fail to amaze.

- I agree with you, Deb - In just a few years, the use of fillers and Botox in Norway has increased significantly ... almost no one has natural beauty anymore ... - hugs

I enjoyed reading this wonderful write. Few words with much said. I still say, age is just a number. Beauty comes from within at any age. Have A Blessed Day Writing Away..........................
