She was beautiful

She was beautiful.
Not the kind of beautiful as the models on the magazines,
but she was beautiful for the way she made people laugh when they were sad,
or the way she comforted the people who needed it when really
She was the one who needed it most.
The way she puts others before herself.
The way she has temptations to be selfish but remains selfless.
The times she has seen someone in a more difficult situation than her
and she listened because they wanted to be heard.
Or the way her eyes lit up and watered when she saw someone find love and peace within themselves and others.
She wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks.
She was beautiful because of the way she gave people the things she needed most.
