Our Hidden Beauty

On this amazing little island
In our universe of black
We are the people
And nature i thank for that

We are the same but different
We would stand out against a wall
But there is a hidden beauty
That is born within us all

The next time you go shopping
In the center near your home
Sit in silence and look around
And watch our beauty roam

What your eyes will capture
Will fill your heart with glee
Its the hidden beauty within us
That surfaces in front of thee

You'll see children with their mothers
Couples walking hand in hand
People laughing, enjoying themselves
In feelings we all understand

On this amazing little island
That we call planet earth
The beauty born within us all
Is more than riches worth

An enjoyable piece James, your comments on my little effort, whet my appitite to read more from you, and I am impressed, also by your haiku poetry as I can not seem to make mine work, ( always have had too much to say!!). many thanks for your kind words. June.
