Born Beautiful…

indeed, we all are

shaped…imaging God,

The Almighty Czar.

This appearance, though,

is…dimmed, by far

with acquired etchings

that taint and scar.

For, it is the… roots…

from which we all come

that surfaces over time

revealing…Eden’s shun.

And what shall we say

of this prevalent thing

in a world where features…

are gazed… like bling?

When, in fact, the physical…

hardly bears worth,

as it is the spirit within

that…requires…re-birth.

Therefore, when a tiny new

soul, does glow and shine,

it is hard to accept, but…

the Garden’s mar does bind.

And there’s only One antidote…

there’s only One reprieve;

a washing in…The Blood…

that was wrought on Calvary.

Yes, with Jesus…all is not lost,

but, invariably, gained…

for, Through Him…all...can be

…Born Beautiful…again
