Beauty

Beauty
by Bill Marshall on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 9:09am
Some say beauty is only skin deep,
But I have seen beauty to make one weep,
And I have seen beauty I would not keep,
For the cost of such beauty is too steep.

Beauty comes naked without sight,
It is for the beholder to see the light,
For beauty must also be virtue's might
And never shrink from what is right.

Beauty is a baby who knows but love,
A vessel of joy sent from high above,
Never a burden to be gotten rid of,
But pure as sunlight on a morning dove

Teddy bears are cuddly and are a very small child's first 'pet' because we do love them.Three teddy bears with hearts then must be thrice complimented.(I figured that out myself,lol,hope I'm right)Thank you very much.I have a friend who I have been trying to convince for 10 months that she is beautiful.She is very beautiful and my age but looks 10 yr younger.She is a pastor and an inspirational speaker,yada yada yada.I hope you are not another one of these beautiful creatures who does not realize how beautiful she is because you are very beautiful.Age,distance and circumstance should convince you I have no reason to lie.(I don't lie,it is very difficult for me to do so except in jest or to spare someone's feelings.(That was more than you needed to know,lol,sorry)God bless and thanks again.
