Beauty is not an aspect of a body well kept
Rather an aspect of the soul fed with Light
Who knows that reality is made from thought
And the heart holds a treasure worth more
Than any bank vault and more accessible
For what is felt and acknowledged in the mind
Can be used for the betterment of your company
The rest of the actors on your stage of Life
For if you offer your shoulder to a crying friend
Or feed the hungry, clothe the tattered,
Challenge the lost in spirit to see ahead
On the path strewn with rocks and potholes
You do so not for riches, nor for praise
But for the honor to serve, to lift someone
Out of the darkness they see on every corner
And give them a chance to see joy, be joy.
Have you the certainty, the strength, the desire?
Surely you can do nothing with your feeble self,
But the Creator empowers those who would lift
With a sky full of heavenly helpers each day
To brighten your countenance, to clear your vision,
To let you see beauty inside as well as out.
