True Beauty


True beauty is not found in rouge or cream;
No fancy clothes or hairdos can suffice.
The world would have you buy the latest dream,
And friends are eager giving their advice.
There is no harm enhancing what you've got;
The lilies of the valley shine with dew.
Just don't believe your beauty can be bought
With slacks, cosmetics, scent or even shoe.
The splendor of your being lies within:
That gentle, quiet spirit God finds dear.
It matters not if you are thick or thin;
The beauty in your heart is seen so clear.
            Cosmetology can help so much;
            The love you have reveals that secret touch.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your adornment must not be merely external--
braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 
but let it be the hidden person of the heart,
with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is precious in the sight of God."

1 Peter 3:3-4
