Diamonds In The Rough

I have found
that my visions
of ~beauty~
are not defined
by that movie
star stuff.

I envision
~beauty~
more like
a diamond
in the
rough.

(smiles) Oh James, I couldn't agree with you more, while I do believe especially in Disney movies that wishing upon a star will ghuarantee your dreams can come true, I believe the real authentic beauty of life rests in suprises and in our hearts! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Me too. Thanks for honoring true beauty, unadorned, unadulterated, often underated.

JM...perfect!

Too many look for that diamond to be polished
to a fine gem's quality...Yet, a true
diamond is one that has learned, matured and
posesses so many qualities.

Hello James

Your words spoke in volumes and there are so many truths in what you have written. I for one agree.

There is only one beauty, and it comes from the eyes of the beholder. Your poem is sweet and true.
