Beauty

Beauty is in love, beauty is in pain,
there is beauty in my heart
while burning in a flame.

Beauty is in words, beauty is in blame,
there is beauty in my soul
while nothing is in vain.

Beauty is in hope, beauty is in shame,
There is beauty in my mind
while losing in the game.

And I have left some beauty behind me
in the lines I wrote so far,
And beauty is in all I see,
even in a scar.

Victoria, I like your two-sided approach to seeing beauty. I agree there is beauty in a scar because it opens a person's history book and describes the internal strength of overcoming that wound or surgery. The eye of the beholder can be trained to see beauty in many places. Well done ~ John
