Inspired by the theme "Beauty In The Eyes Of The Beholder" of the contest sponsored by Crystol Woods
Beauty In The Eyes Of The Beholder
You tell me many times…
I am beautiful!
Your words take me to cloud nine,
In exhilaration, I sail, I float, I glide!
Do I believe you, or not?
Because beauty lies in the
Eyes of the beholder!
The world may not agree with you,
But you are firm in your belief.
My parents thought that
Their girl was the prettiest,
My kindest friends considered me gorgeous!
But I knew in my heart,
Beauty lies within,
In kindness, in love, in grace.
In courage, in bravery, in dedication!
Beauty lies in a mother’s boundless love for her baby,
A father’s unlimited affection for his children,
Beauty lies in a teacher’s care for her students,
Beauty lies in admiring and portraying bountiful nature.
Faith in our saviour,
Our prayers, full of devotion,
Every little child is magically blessed
Every little child is heavenly angelic!
Something old, and ancient
something abandoned, and rusty,
All are priceless when we value the sentiments attached to the object.
