Ode To Beauty

Honesty reveals the heart of beauty  

................and  passion the heart of Love



Beauty is born on the winds of grace

...... and lives in the heart of compassion



        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



If I am a beauty on the outside and not on the inside

...... then I am not beautiful, I am vain....



If all that you see is the fairness of my countenance

............then you do not see the real me



If all that I am is all that you see in me

..........then the work of God’s hand is wasted



But if what you see is kindness and peace

.........then God’s hand has worked at ease



So if I can reach out and touch your heart and soul

...........then I have not wasted what He made whole



So I will seek the inner beauty, rather than the outer,

..for it is with this that I shall bless others much more



For beauty of face and body fades with time,

......for the beauty forever goes on in the heart and mind  



This then will be my cause, to reach out to all

......and touch the hearts of those that call

.....that I may bring to them real beauty

.....of  who  and what; I am; inside



For then my life has not been in vain

..............not wasted on selfish pride and gain

................for all else will bring you only pain

.................but in the cause of love and honour
