Where Beauty Begins

True beauty is not in the mirror’s glass,
Nor in the fleeting gaze that passes by,
It glows where kindness leaves its trace,
A quiet flame the world cannot deny!

It hums in laughter shared with care,
In eyes that see the good in all,
It blooms when courage faces fear,
And love lifts others when they fall!

The painted face will fade with years,
The polished charm will lose its gleam,
But hearts that hold the light of truth,
Will shine in every waking dream!

So, wear your soul like morning sun,
Let grace and warmth be what you show,
For beauty is not just the skin or bone,
It is how your spirit learns to glow!
