Beauty
Douglas H. Mc Clintock 1934 (Sarnia, Ontario)
I think that I shall never see
A flower as beautiful as thee.
An inner beauty so very rare
That you cared enough for you to share.
Lovingness of body for us to see,
Comes from a life that's tried and tested.
You earn it by caring for others, not always me,
Remember beauty is only skin deep.
Its what is inside of you that counts,
Love is in the menu of life,
Not hate, envy or greed.
It is better to give than to receive.
Agape love makes the world a better place,
It is a love of choice not of attraction.
Reserved for family and kinship with friends,
Sharing one's life with another, a rare gem to keep.
Love is an intricate weaving, its way into our life.
As humans, we must love our selves before loving others,
We need confidence and accountability to lead
You are not complete, unless you have a shared love .
The ultimate in love is : "For God so Loved the World "
We all posses a divine nature.
God has given us the tools to make it work,
A workman, not ashamed to be called a Christian !
Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.
Emily Dickinson
