Reflections For The New Day
:
Hidden Beauty
by Jewell McChesney
What truly matters?
|
|
|
When the eyes see with our spirit
Pushing back all fleshly need
The gifts of heart are opened
Selfish wants no longer plead
Take the time to notice sparkle
In the eyes of someone fair
For in one precious moment
You could let them know you care
Pure greed will not know beauty
Seeking only selfish gain
There are treasures that lay hiding
Underneath a face that's plain
Intentions of the selfish
Are the seeds of bitter fruit
In the end will leave one lonely
With regrets of past pursuit
Loveliness cannot be measured
By the glitter in the night
A jewel never glistens
In the absence of pure light

Author Notes
We all end up here one day,
Will we be just older or aged like fine wine?
Real treasures never lose their shine.
Artificial gems do and value was never there to begin with.
