Stained Glass

Sometimes if you look close, 
you will notice people…

People are very special in that
 everyone is very different; 
you look for the good,
 and sometimes see the bad…

To see their beauty one must look
 at them as though they were windows…

Some are plain like regular
 glass windows and some are 
like stained glass windows…

To see their real beauty, 
you must compare, the plain glass,
 to the stained glass to see which 
shines the best…

For true beauty is not found,
 on the outside as there appearance, 
but from the beauty within…
