A Poem about Beauty

I see beauty all around me

It's in the sunshine streaming through my window

My nephew's laugh reaches the depths of my soul

Mountains. trees. rushing water.

Deep, calm, free

I am a mountain

Standing tall despite it all

Weathering storms

Full of mysteries

Beauty is in the simple things

A melody

The song I sing, flowing free

I am soaring, flying

High above the things that used to bother me

I am a conqueror

Strength. Shield. Victory.

I am a rubber band

Stretched and flexible

Bending every which way

Bouncing back from heartache

I am beautiful

I am loved

More than ever, I know I'm enough

My voice rings clear

Stronger than ever before

I won't hold back

No, no not anymore

Pressing through

Trudging on

There's a life to be lived

And it is beautiful, precious, pure

I see beauty in myself

It's in my smile

It's in my eyes

I wanna make the world beautiful

Speaking words of life

Walking side by side with harmony

Loving purely

That's beauty.
