"The Beauty from Within"

C.J. Ingerson
2/26/99

Verse 1
*******

In the world we live in today
we see all beauty on display
for it a price we have to pay
to look and do as the ads say.

Verse 2
********

But never have I seen more lovely
a person than a Sister Teresa lonely
working, struggling with the lowly
giving of her all to others fully.

Verse 3
********

So which is true for the who are we
what we watch on TV it seems to be
or in the service of others who we see
will in this life we ever learn to agree?

Verse 4
********

The attraction and strength of others
like beauty comes deep within anther's
soul and person as sisters and brothers
the spirit whispers this to us for it concurs.

Verse 5
*******

So when you beauty are allowed to feel
is it also one you are allowed to know is real
or is it from a storefront paid for in a deal
be careful which you let it your heart to steal.
