The Beauty You'Ve Been Given

Beauty comes within you and all around you.
Take a glimpse at the world what do you see?
Take a look at the stars, do you feel free?
Beauty is a gift that rarely comes around.
Beauty is a blessing that cannot be found.
You can try looking for it and you will come to find,
That the only beauty within you can be controlled by your mind.
So you don’t want abuse the gift gods given you, because if you abuse you’re 
given beauty, to god your heart won’t stay true.
So while he looks down on you from a little place called heaven.
He sits and waits for you to mistreat the gift that you’ve been given.
But if you stay smart and begin to recognize that your rare beauty is a gift and not 
a winning prize.
