Fading Beauty....

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.

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.....grin

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....Kathydancing
