Ageless Beauty

poem

 

Ageless beauty

 

True beauty lies beneath the skin.

It’s not something for surface show.

 A quality which lies within

 but others can bask in its glow.

 

Some beauty fades as years pass by.

No matter how hard you may fight

 to hide the signs you can’t deny

True beauty shines through ever bright.

 

True beauty is not visible

 but rather something which you feel.

Something which makes you comfortable

 the passing years can never steal.

 

True beauty thinks of others first

and offers love without reserve.

As a cool drink will quench our thirst

it gives us more than we deserve.

 

True beauty is a quality

which lasts until the day you die.

A precious gift that’s given free

which no amount of cash can buy.

 

Beauty is skin deep so they say.

Of mere good looks that is quite true.

Youthful prettiness fades away

but inner beauty still shines through.

Speechless, it was like "speaking with jewels in my mouth" (Angela's Ashes) as I read out loud.
There's no point of telling what others surely have,
keep writing for I'll sure enjoy your poems now and ever.

So TRUE.... I have met beautiful people that were horribly ugly inside. As age finds me, I have realized the truisms you discribe here. I would rather spend my life with a kind toad, than a beautiful man filled with ugliness.

You know what they say: Physical beauty is only skin deep, but ugliness is clear to the bone.

God Bless

=D.

That's so beautiful, I only with that more people would share your perspective.

A very good way of expressing that everyone can be the same on the inside, regardless of the outside world.

Much agreed! Beauty isn't something measured in the physical, but measured in what transcends the physical. I love how you equate beauty with feeling. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it appears more that beauty is in the feeling of love. Well done, my beautiful friend!! Much love to you.....
