Beauty In All Things


             It is all around us
              - beauty that is -
       It is housed inside of us
           we see it, we feel it

     it is raw, honest, and pure

    a healing hand of a mother 
  wiping away her child's tears...
                 such beauty

        the world seen through
    the innocent eyes of a child...
          wow, ain't it beautiful?

            findng radiant light 
 where there is pitch-darkness...
                  that's beauty

              humanity shining 
           deep within our soul...
               a beautiful thing

         God's agape love for us,
                simplicity itself...
              a thing of beauty

                    in laughter,
                 in an embrace
                    in kindness; 
                 even in ugliness
                           hides...

                                  beauty.
