Beauty surrounds us
you see it in every grain of sand
and every blade of grass
you see it in the leaves that fall,
the twinkling of the stars,
the colours of sunrise and
as day fades you see it at sunset
you can hear it in birdsong
with the dawn chorus waking the world
you can even find it in the words
of your favourite song and
feel it in the whisper of breath
across your skin from the one you love
look in the mirror, strip away that
mask you wear and see it
in your own eyes
it’s there in your children , your family
you can even see it in the actions
of others if you’re willing to look
Beauty is in everyone
we just need to see beneath the disguise
that they show the world
beauty isn’t always about the way things look
or sound it’s there in our love , in our actions
and the way we value others
treating people with respect and kindness
is beauty in it’s true form
