Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting. Ralph Waldo Emerson
______________________________________________________________
In a world so obsessed with youthful bloom,
Where fleeting beauty becomes man's costume,
Let us pause and ponder—let us truly foresee.
Genuine beauty emerges as we age gracefully.
For beauty is but a vain and doubtful hood,
A shallow gloss that fades as quickly as it stood.
Such a fragile flower—it withers away.
Once it begins to bud—it cannot stay.
A brittle glass shattered in an instant,
Beauty's illusion is so easily distant.
Yet, in the midst of this doubt, there is a truth.
A perception that reveals the beauty of youth.
True beauty is not defined by outer charm.
But by the wisdom and kindness that disarm.
It is not anent the color of your hair or eyes.
But the principles and morals you prioritize
Beauty is not measured by appearance.
But by love, caring, and shared perseverance,
Life may be magnificent—life can be beautiful.
At your beck and call—your life can be bountiful.
In this world so consumed by physical appeal,
Let us not forget what is utterly real.
To be aesthetic is to be beyond skin deep.
However, spiritual reflections let you weep.
It is the kindness and love we freely sieve.
The strength to assist others and truly live.
It is the power of a smile, a weapon so strong,
That can conquer any battle, right any wrong.
God's fingerprints can be seen all around us.
A display of the innate grace of humans, thus
True beauty is not bound by age or time.
But a radiance that only grows beyond sublime.
So let us cherish the beauty that comes with age,
A pearl of wisdom and grace we won't assuage.
For in the journey of life—as we grow old,
We discover a beauty that's worth beyond gold.
