True Beauty

Beauty is within,
Not if your waist line is trim,
Exquisiteness is worn,
When hearts are pure 
not draped with thorns,

Beauty has a lot of class,
It’s pure gold, not tarnished Brass,

Beauty develops in true ladies,
It’s not loose, confused or shady

Beauty has a unique presence,
Its grace, refined, restored with elegance,
Captivating all who are fortunate to meet
It's truth and love, 
which is stronger than a heart beat,

Beauty overlooks other people's wrongs,
Comforts those who aren’t as strong,
Delighting in others achievements and success,
It’s not superficial, self-seeking and obsessed,

Beauty is a person’s unadulterated soul,
Completely dressed, renewed and whole,
It’s not what you see in television ads,
Or a magazine model's newest fad,
It’s the essence of a person’s being,
Beauty is not defined by what you’re seeing,

Break away from faulty, conditioning views,
Realize beauty is something we all can choose,
Take a moment to look deep inside,
Strip away any vanity, conceit or pride,
Watch as you begin to sparkle and gleam,
Then your true beauty is what will be seen.

To each his own... However, I find that there is too much focus on the outside, and alot of ugly people on the inside running around!!! I too can appreciate outward beauty but thats not what is most important at all!
