Beauty

Why does beauty have to be seen?
                                           Why can't you get to the within?
                                              Before you cast judgement on what you see?
                                            Why can't from the inside, begin?

                                             If beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
                                              Behold not only what you see!
                                              For, behind this shell of beauty,
                                              Deep within is the beauty you truly seek!

Amen to that my friend. Beauty truly comes from inside, not the outside. I have seen many beautiful people who had a really ugly spirit. Great job. A fine write. God Bless, JB
