Where Beauty Resides

Just like a beautiful flower, outer beauty
fades and withers away.
 
But the inner beauty remains; it doesn’t 
fade nor wither away.

It stays the same long after the outer 
shell has gone.

Because our inner beauty resides in 
our soul.

We mustn’t dwell much on the outer
appearance.

It’s the inner beauty that needs tending 
to.

Inner beauty is seen in one's character,
such as a kind and loving attitude.

Find your inner beauty and let it shine
and represent you.

For it will be remembered long after 
you're gone.

So make sure you tend to it by cultivating
and watering it daily.

Rama Balasubramanian March 1, 2021 at 5:44 AM Inner beauty, who cares now a days. Outward appearance only matters. Wish all thought like you. Wouldn't all be so beautiful.

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 28, 2021 at 9:09 PM Your lovely poem expresses fine sentiments on what really matters in life, Alexis. I especially liked the portrayal of age as a wilted flower. :=)

Gershon Wolf February 28, 2021 at 3:51 PM So true, and good advice. Now, if we just can apply this to America's ridiculous obsession with 'all things racial.' Smiles, Gershon
