The Beauty That Lies Within

Were it not for this body that I now inhabit could we be friends, even lovers? Would that you could look beyond my outward being and see what's inside see beyond a body/face that to you is not beautiful. Would that you looked with your heart instead of with your eyes. In doing this you might see that true beauty isn't always on the outside. Instead, look with your mind and know that beauty is, as it has been written, more then skin deep. Would that you could see through Gods eyes that we are all beautiful, as he meant us to be. Love is more then the physical, it lies within as well it is in the beating of our hearts, it lives within our soul, also within our spiritual self. This beauty asks nothing more then to be nurtured, to be awakened, and in doing so, one will find that love is, at its best something wondrous to behold. Beauty comes to us in many forms and should your eyes not open to this truth you may loose that which stands here before you that very being that God, in all his wisdom/glory created perhaps only unto you. He chose to make me as I am for a reason it is not for us to question buy only to accept and thus look for the beauty that lies within.
