"So, what is beauty?", you have asked.
It could be many things.
For instance, something it could be,
The notes a song bird sings;
A flower's bloom; an eagle's flight;
The fragrance of a rose;
The way that from a tiny seed
That lovely flower grows.
It too can be a growing child,
A sparkle in the eyes
Of infants learning how to walk
Then reaching for blue skies.
It is a feeling that's within
We get when we "reach out..."
To find another piece of us
We can't become without.
A tender touch from one we love,
A mother's warm embrace,
A welcome smile and tears of joy
Like diamonds on a face.
The drink of water from a stream
And breathing in fresh air.
Our 'Mother's' other gifts to us
For showing that we care.
Then beauty is to feel again
After a tragedy
That seemed to leave a hole inside
We felt we could not flee.
Because beauty is in "the eyes..."
I could list many more.
But all will have the same effect;
It makes our spirit soar.
