Lasting Beauty

I believe inner beauty is loving family and 
Community; helping the less fortunate smiling and carefree.
Deep beauty is strong character coupled with a big heart!

For Rick Parise, thanks for the inspiration!!
I know it is too late for the contest!

A very kind poem; kindess is such a wonderful strength to have. Your inspiration sparks my imagination and turns my thoughts introspectively and reflectively on how I can have greater inner beauty! I sure do love this country! And family and community! Love, Susan
