Beauty

Beauty is a speculation of perception,
the recollection of profoundness.
It's the effervescence of loveliness,
transpired by reflections of gratitude.

Beauty is the outward appearance
of what the inward part sees.
No matter what size or shape you are,
it's how you're perceived in thought.
True love knows no faults and
is understanding, helpful, and caring.

Beauty will rise to the occasion
to comfort the strong and the weak.
Beauty doesn't judge you or get too
critical; it supports your efforts.
