You are beautiful

Even if you do not fall in the category
of beautiful people as defined by
the commercial media and marketing,
you are beautiful in the eyes of peace.

You do not need to put on make-up.
You do not need to wear classy fashion.
You do not need to drive a flashy car.
You just need to be a beauty of peace.

Putting on a smile of gratitude
when someone helps you out.
Lending a hand to someone in need.
Writing a thank-you-note
to someone who made your day.

So many small acts to make you
a beauty from within.
A shining beauty of peace.

Helping someone to be happy.
Teaching a child to be confident.
Appreciating people not for what they own,
but for what they are - even if poor.

So many small acts to make you
a beauty from within.
A beauty in the eyes of peace.
