The oak tree silhouetted
Against the sky, in branches bare,
Has the stark and simple beauty
Of my old Daddy in his underwear.

The artist's eye finds beauty
In the plain and common place.
While the lover looks for loveliness
In his dear one's sweet face.

A child may think his mother
The fairest of the fair.
She looks at his countenance
And sees perfection there.

We each observe in our own way
The world in which we share.
If we truly seek for beauty
We can find it anywhere.

I agree. It's all in the way one looks at things. Nicely penned.
