It's there if you look for it!


Poem Artwork

 

Look Beneath!
 
“A face only a Mother could love,”
Is a saying I don’t particularly like.
I’d rather hear, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,”
It doesn’t give me such a fright.
 
For that saying means someone’s repulsive
And that no one else can see.
The beauty that lies within them,
What they truly are or can be.
 
We need to take the rose color glasses off so we’re less confused.
On what true beauty is and how it can be used.
True beauty’s very giving and cares for others more than itself.
It has a tremendous spirit and assists like tiny little elves..
 
The beauty on the outside is only skin deep,
Look for the beauty on the inside that’s lying just beneath.
When you’re looking for true beauty, look with eyes opened wide,
You will see the beauty in everything and you will see the pride.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

HAHA Ma'ma I love the picture you picked for this poem! But I totaly agree with this. Because with time the beauty on the outside will fade and all your left with is your soul and if that is currupted and ugly that is all you have but if it is beautiful then thats how you will be remembered

such a valid point--some sayings are very cruel, really--what a good write!

Once again, your own beautiful spirit shines forth in this caring poem. You certainly possess that true beauty that you write about here.
The picture is taking an awfully long time to download--it must be one of those giant ones. Oh, here it is! Oh, mercy me, I hope that pup has inner beauty--he's gonna need it!
(sorry, Bon, I couldn't resist that comment)

Oh, I do so like this poem too Bonnie, I do love your writes and think you are an amazing person as I told you today. I feel I aught to send you a card with money in it, and I could as I won extra at Bingo. Would you accept it, just a small amount? I'd love to do this for a friend and for your great help. May I do it, If so, I will get it in the mail right away. I don't mind sharing, I thought to do it today but did not want to offend you. Love you for all you did for me. Lois C.

Heavenly tunes I have found in your heartfelt rendering of "Look Beneath".
Truth~ "...True beauty’s very giving and cares for others more than itself.
It has a tremendous spirit and assists like tiny little elves..."
Truth, love=Unconditional.

Loved this presentation Bonnie, continued blessings,

Bonnie,

A powerfully penned thought provoker - all of us need to look beyond the outside and see the beauty, within. Excellent message, very well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
