Where Eyes
Cannot
See

Sometimes a neglected rose
Sprouts beautiful blooms
Is proof
enough for me
Beauty sometimes comes
From an unexpected
place.
Beauty can be hidden
Where
eyes cannot see
Because our actions show
How beautiful we
are.
A beautiful smile
Draws
smiles in return
While a frowning face
Causes those we care for
To turn
and walk away.
We can be beautiful
Even
if we are not
By respecting everyone
Their hearts will tell them
We are
beautiful
Even if our outward
Appearance is not.
