Beauty is not in the mirror's gaze,
Nor in the lines that time displays,
It's not in the hue of skin so fair,
Nor in the sparkle of golden hair.
It's in the kindness of a helping hand,
The wisdom of a listening ear,
The time you give to understand,
The love you show without a fear.
It's in the laughter that you share,
The joy you bring to those in care,
The moments you take to show,
A stranger is a friend you know.
The beauty of a soul so true,
Is seen in the love that shines through,
It's in the heart that beats with grace,
And in the smile that lights up space.
So look not to the outside in,
For beauty is within,
It's in the kindness that you give,
And in the love that you win.
