Beauty of flesh does not long stay |
BEAUTY OF FLESH DOES NOT LONG STAY Beauty of flesh does not long stay The firmness sags and hairs go grey But in the sweet more beauty blooms Within the hearts and minds rooms Though now aged may be the face There is now within a regal grace Beauty now within takes true form Lovelier than when they were born Kind matrons do not lose beauty fair It is in the heart and lives on in there author's notes: they say youth is wasted on the young. I say maturity is the best gift of the older crowd. We are comfortable in our skin, peer pressure is a thing of the past. We have a mature confidence that is to be desired over the bloom of youth any day. Yes, youth was fun, but I like where I am now. I've met some beautiful looking people who were the biggest meanest jerks, and I've met some very plain-looking folks who were the loveliest people. Never judge a human by it's cover. Proverbs 31:30 (KJV- "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." Proverbs 11:22 (NIV)- "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion." |
