Beauty is in everything
It’s in reason to be living

Existing in all the most unusual places
Beauty I can find in even scarred faces

It brings itself out into the light
When you see it you know its right

Beauty is there in the spider’s web
Twisted and woven in silky threads

A young person who is struggling hard to learn
Coming from hardship facing pain at each turn
The look on their face, that they will do
All they can just to prove make it through

Impoverished wives in poorer lands
Raising children the best as they can

An elderly grandparent, loving life
Giving warmth with all their might

A child so little fighting off decease
Knowing, death is when they get peace

People who fight true for all that they believe
Despite how wrong it is what they may perceive

All those who know they are doomed
Who keep fighting despite death soon
The ones who hate how they were in the past
Who have worked so hard, their unsurpassed

Life will
Still
Bring them pain after hurts
Never let rest, always on alert
When all is lost they will still have faith
Somehow, that there troubles will abate

I can find beauty, wherever I might glance
Won’t take long if you just give them a chance
Being beautiful rarely ever can ever mean
Not looking within, just at what they seem

wow, i really enjoyed that poem. When i read this poem it reminded me how i used to(and sometimes still do, i admit) judge someone by their outward appearance, before knowing their inside. But their is beauty in everyone, everything, and everywhere. i totally and completely agree...i love this!! it sounds like you worked hard on it.

hugs

Hey rhia!

Thanks for the beautiful reminder! It's much needed by me, I sometimes forget how much it can hurt a person by mocking their outward appearance. Which I should never forget because I hate it when people do that to me too. I'm going to keep this poem book marked as a reminder whenever I get off track...

Thanks a bunch for sharing! I loved this poem, you are very talented in being able to show a "lesson" in your poems. I love reading them!
