Beautiful One

[missionarypoet]

Perfect hair and a perfect nose,
but you know how the saying goes.
Sparkling teeth and a gorgeous grin,
but is there beauty that comes from within?
Beauty is only skin deep, but that's just a cliche.
Is there any truth in it for us who live today?
Models smiling from every magazine ad
promising whiter teeth and slimmer bodies to be had.
Do you listen to their voices or listen to your heart?
If the world doesn't believe it, are you still a work of art?
A genuine smile, and a warm, caring embrace
Isn't that more beautiful than a perfect face?
You, my friend, are beautiful- I knew it from the start,
because it's the kind of beauty that shines out of your heart.


I just wrote this on the spot yesterday, so I know it has major reconstruction to be done, but what do you think?

Ditto. Important message. Important indeed in this day.

Go with God.

Lovely. True. The epitome of Christian poetry...the depth of which comes from an illumined place, so different than the world. Truly great.

Thank you. I do think the message is important- it's something we talked about in youth group a while back. Is there anything you can think of I should change?
