Beauty fades, as a rose bud must die Petals flutter-drop, scattered to lie Gradually turns, to a powdery dust Blown by four winds, in freedom gust
Nature's beauty, in love will remain Leaves inner sadness, marks as stain Time will come, true love holds tight Emotions control, inner beauty bright
Look past outer beauty, if it remains Gentle inner soul, life's joy not pain Hidden deep, are human's fragile dreams Accept love not beauty, in love supreme
Proverbs 31:30 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
I cling to this verse because I definitely do not possess outside beauty but continue to strive for the inside beauty. Thanks for sharing Kathy!

I truly believe that the writers who post their feelings, emotions and fantasies on this site ~ indeed have an abundance of 'inner beauty'.
Thank you for sharing.

My Grandmother always told me beauty is on the inside. Blessed by God you are Beautiful in all ways! I really enjoyed your poem. So true. Thanks for another great write.
Ladies most of you have no idea how beautiful you are.Don't let mean words from insecure soul blind you from the truth of your beauty. You are beautiful by design just the way you are.
I always swore I would grow old gracefully, and so I have, but friends want me to try harder to retain the 30 year old me...and I can't be bothered, especially as they have never bothered with their appearance.....so why me....... Thanks Kathy USA....for understanding......Kiwi ...or is it Londoner Kathy.....

Mady....doglover 14....anyone that knows me, understands I write for the moment, my thoughts and emotions felt....though with strong emotions, I can put myself back in time to live the moment. I think when we write from the heart, the words jump off the page...the difference between linked words, and those that have soul...thank for your comment....Kathy
