Beauty Can Be Found

Beauty can be found in the sky, twilight's golden glow,
Beauty can be found in the pallette color bold
Beauty can be found in the wonder of a smile

Kind and gracious words make beauty abound
A gentle touch, hug or caress can cause beauty to blossom
where none could grow.
Beauty makes rain fall over a barren desert.

Beauty can be found in a broken spirit.
Beauty can be found in a death and rebirth.
Beauty is in the mind's eye.

Even a dung beatle finds it's mate beautiful.

Gotta love the precious irony here! Besides, who doesn't feel like an unwanted dung beetle every once in a while? Warm regards, John.
