So many of us are easily brainwashed Some are drawn towards fortune and fame Magazines portray the 'perfect figure' So many are selfish and vain We're told if you have a beautiful body You can get almost anywhere in life There's no excuse for not being 'perfect' One can always go under the knife This world seems so consumed by vanity Beyond the mirror they just cannot see None of us are more special than the other We're all of the same fabric you see In a world miles away from the glamour Far away from the silver and gold There are so many needy people Who spend their lives out in the cold No bright lights shine upon them They have no basic comforts or home They spend every night without love Feeling so afraid and so very alone Some people live only for money Consumed by self satisfaction and greed Without even a thought for those others Who crave just the simplest of needs But those with the most valuable possession Are those who are caring and kind Their thoughtfulness knows no boundaries They are like a jewel that is hard to find Each and every one of us is beautiful In their own individual way A good heart is certainly priceless Like a beautiful sunset at the end of the day Suetang |

Got that right...you know how to prioritize...what's important, and what's not. Keep passing those messages along... |

"Each and every one of us is beautiful In their own individual way A good heart is certainly priceless Like a beautiful sunset at the end of the day"   (big huggggssssss) Oh Sue, I couldn't agree with you more, sweet friend, it too saddens me to see so many get the wrong impression that physical beauty will win them everything and only to find out its the heart that matters ore and that many are so unhappy truly! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful poem with a powerful message, sweet friend, may we always listen to our hearts dearly, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

So true, if people could only look past the outer layer the world would be a better place, there would be no self hatred. Brilliant write it made me think. God Bless you, Clare Life is about change,sometimes its painful,sometimes its beautiful,sometimes its both. |

I hate the old thought that beauty is skin and ugly is to the bone.... Too many people never see the true beauty of a person...because they stop at the shell on the outside...never seeing the kindness of the heart, the sensitivity, the desire to be loved and cared for... I remember those very terrible moments when I thought I had no beauty... Thank You Sue...you are a beautiful young woman, inside and out!!! |
