The sign of a beautiful person is that they always see beauty in others ...

Beauty appears as different things to different people It may be the reaching up of a towering steeple Or something pleasing to the eye Like blending blues up in the sky It may be a person simply being A beautiful thing worthy of seeing Or a person deciding to let someone go Because of their love the other may grow A memory from one’s past A kind of beauty that long will last Especially when energized with a smile It will last for quite a while Beauty is the love from another not expected Or love for another that’s not rejected A beautiful love, unknown in our mind Unconditional Love the Godly kind The beautiful majesty of a waterfall Or the sweet sound of the bat on a homerun ball Beauty is clouds forming a form of art Especially when shaped in the form of a heart Then there’s the beauty of a song well sung And the beautiful sound of a bell well rung Friendship that lasts over many years Enduring many laughs and some tears Since there are so many answers to this question Allow me to offer a closing suggestion Be slow to judge beauty just by what you see For everything has beauty to some degree

Dear friend, Bill, your poetic composition ventures into the multifaceted interpretations and incarnations of aesthetic allure, underscoring its ability to manifest in numerous guises and encounters. Whether it be in the awe-inspiring spectacles of nature, like soaring spires and gushing torrents, or in the unassuming bonds of human interaction, such as companionship and affection, beauty effortlessly permeates every facet of our existence.

The beauty is always there, it's the state of mind of the beholder that reveals it. Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful comments, my friend. Have a pleasant day. Bill

Thank you for the kind comments, Jerry. I just finished tour taxes for 2023. Whew! I'm through. Took the wind out of my sails yesterday and today. I'm tired already and it's only 7:30 here. Have a pleasant evening, my friend. Bill

Lovely conclusion! If it appears ugly, perhaps it is not the end. Let us give it every chance to be beautiful. :)

I've seen some drastic changes in people I've befriended in my life. Sometimes people just need a friend to bring out their good side. Thanks for the visits, Kim. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

Beauty truly is a discretion. I only take issue with people who decide someone isn't beautiful enough, and make verbal attacks. Also, I take issue with people who can't discern that a classic beauty is nothing more. People don't select their looks at birth. You can see, this poem has me thinking. Thank you.
