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. Alexis Y. 02/28/2021

Inner beauty, who cares now a days. Outward appearance only matters. Wish all thought like you. Wouldn't all be so beautiful.

Your lovely poem expresses fine sentiments on what really matters in life, Alexis. I especially liked the portrayal of age as a wilted flower. :=)

So true, and good advice. Now, if we just can apply this to America's ridiculous obsession with 'all things racial.' Smiles, Gershon
