No Mistakes

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
It comes in many ways
We make our minds up instantly
And that's usually how it stays

Skinny, short, fat or tall
Everyone has their taste
Why do we always dismiss someone
For their looks, in such a haste?

Why do we have to judge someone 
By the color of their skin?
We close our minds to acceptance
And we just can't let them in

For everybody is different 
And still we're all the same
If you can't accept them for who they are
You have only yourself to blame

Beauty shines from the inside out
It not always what you see
Maybe it's not about who they were
But who they strive to be

For we're created in God's own image
And He doesn't make mistakes
Maybe only a second glance
Is simply, all it takes
