True Beauty

Just sitting and I had a spiritual moment. Kinda makes you think, huh?

The Question of the ages,
Difficult answering it may pose.
"What is true beauty?"
The answer? No one knows.

Lipstick? Diets?
Styling your hair?
Immodesty? Strength?
Taking a dare?

Girlfriends? Boyfriends?
A hullabaloo?
Drinking? Smoking?
Other things people do?

That might be beauty,
Right?... Couldn't it?
But I think that it's different,
Maybe just a bit.

I thought it could be trees,
The flowers and the grass.
The stars and the moon,
But I saved best for last.

I know what true beauty is,
Though you might have to search.
You can find it many places,
But I'd recommend a church.

True Beauty is our Father in heaven,
And his plan for us all.
It's love, hope, and faith,
And our will to answer his call.

Author's Note

I got on google images and typed in "beauty"... Well, I didn't really get what I described in the last part. Just a bunch of lady's with lots of makeup on... So what do you think?

This is a good poem. You're saying, "Go to church to find true beauty," which is certainly true and fine. What might folks find there that is beautiful? You get more beautiful every day. This poem can get more beautiful, too. Keep revising goodness into greatness! Good job! I love you?

Thanks for the support and help.

True beauty cannot be seen – you would have to turn ‘us’ inside out to see our inner beings! And, we may not like what we see… This is the thought I had after reading your piece; very thought provoking! Perhaps, as you poetically wrote – true beauty lays on a ‘spiritual level’ … :-)

Wow! It's really very well composed. The end message showing the true beauty lies in Heavenly Father is just beautiful. I like your work.
