Beautiful is the one who shines in an everlasting smile, with a brightness that clothes naked eyes like sight to the blind. Beautiful is free and flying towards the blue, with wings marked by joytipped rays of candid happiness. Beautiful is the one who flows like a brook to the sea, along the dancing reeds swaying with the winds staying alive in belief. Beautiful is a wonderful poetess with dignified grace, a charming persona, and much more... Ah! To be beautiful is to be our friend, Liz!!!

Cpat, Thanks for pointing the typo... Oh how I dislike these little bugs... Liz has been writing so many beautiful and inspiring poems, that I absolutely felt I had to write something... and I hope I did an okay job...

Sudhir, You have no idea how much this poem means to me. It is such a beautiful poem, and I will cherish it always. It comes to me at a time when I needed someone to recognize the happiness of my spirit, at a time when deception has caused me so much distress in the last few months. But when I write it's the joy people see, and not the tears. You have written an exquisite rose and gently placed it in my hand, and I thank you with all my heart, dear poet of India. Liz |
