The Inner Beauty of Men

THE INNER BEAUTY OF MEN
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE SPARKLY, PRETTY THINGS.  
IT'S NOT  HOW BIG THE ROCK IS , HE PUTS ON YOUR 
LEFT FINGER.
IT STANDS  OUT AT FIRST LIGHT WHEN THEY SLEEP
AND THE SUN SOFTLY CARESSES THEM, THAT 
THE TRUE GLOW OF THIER KINDNESS  SHOWS.
THE GLEAM IN THIER EYES WHEN THEY FIND TRUE 
LOVE, LIKE THE MORNING DEW GLISTENING OFF
FRESH CUT GRASS.
THE GENTLE SIDE WHEN THEY BREAK DOWN  IN 
TEARS FROM THE STRESS OF EVERYDAY  OR THE
SADNESS OF THE WORLD WEARS ON THIER SOUL.
THE WARMTH AND COMFORT OF PROTECTION
FOR FAMILY, BY A WHOLE HEARTED HUG.
THE LOVE OF CHILDREN, BY SIMPLE ACTS OF THIER 
OWN CHILD WITHIN, WITH  THIER PLAYFULL NATURE
AND  COMRODERIE OF FUN AN ADVENTURE FOR
THE UNKNOWN.
IN THIS YOU CAN FIND THE INNER BEAUTY OF MEN.
