Beauty Lies Within

Beauty lies within
Where peace begins
She opens like a bloom
Like a flower in June

Beauty lies within
Where joy lives and feels
The reasons for peace
To make us whole when we are weak

Beauty lies within
Where grace is sufficient for our souls
Where joy has given a reason
To make us happy wherever we go

Beauty lies within us
Its colors are arrayed
Like a picture painted
On a warm summer’s day
