There is so much beauty in...
This wonderous, blue rose
If only we could capture it
Within our very souls

If we could take its beauty
And apply the glow within
Search a little deeper
In the soul beneath our skin

Take what it does stand for
And shed its love abroad
Don't hide the glow within you
But share the love of God

You know you can't touch beauty
Without it rubbing off on you
And spreading it to others
In the kindness that you do

There lies within each one of us
The beauty like this rose
When it's used in touching others
Then its beauty overflows

This is a very pretty graphic. And a even prettier poem.

There is definitely beauty inside of us all, and if any of it even resembles this poem, then we are all beautiful beyond words. This is a great poem, and a wonderful message, but what else could we expect from you!
