Beautiful, Beautiful

I am
I look into my soul
through my eyes
I am beautiful

I can't see
from your eyes
I may be ugly

I look in two
my reflection
brown eyes
crooked smile
hair thinning
greying

all that 
I am and was
is beautiful
because...it was me

in the darkness
dimming light 
I was there somewhere
holding on for
life

Yes, beauty is diversified! We are all beautiful in God's eyes. He created us, according to His purpose.
