True Beauty {poem}

[a handlettering and photo I did of a verse I thought would fit in with the theme of the poem]

Beauty doesn't come from the attire we wear

Beauty is not in our flawless skin color or perfect hair

Beauty lies deep within our heart

It is this beauty that sets us uniquely apart

True beauty is not something that is physically seen

It is our character that is often "behind the scenes"

Beauty is our attitude on a bad day

Beauty is our choice of words and the things we say

You may feel ugly and unattractive

But don't look at the outside,

Look to your heart.

Ugliness isn't determined by how we look on the outside

It is determined by how we act and what is inside

True beauty shines from within your heart

And bursts forth showing a beautiful "work of art"

We can be beautiful by how we live our life

Beautiful people look to God and find hope in the midst of strife.

Focus on being beautiful in your heart and not just in your appearance

because inner beauty is worth more than what you could ever put on your face

Spend more time looking at your inner beauty than in the mirror

Because, it will remind you of your worth and also bring you cheer!
