A Beautiful Find


from the ABC set Silver Spun Sand Poems

Is it because

you are beautiful

I love you

or because

I love you

you are beautiful?

The world is full

of beautiful people.

Beautiful

not because they are

but beautiful

as we find them.

Well thank you:-) The idea has been jangling around in my head for a long time now, so just thought I'd jot it down.

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. A Christmas cake looks lovely on the outside and the icing is no doubt sweet but we have to cut through the icing to get at the real cake; sometimes it lives up to expectations, sometimes not. This piece certainly lives up to what I have come to expect from you. A nice and VERY true write.

Do you know, Chris, reading your words that put life in a nutshell, I do think you should consider becoming a writer. Ever thought about it?;-)

Seriously though, again, thank you for delving into my archives. I enjoyed the experience and I'm glad that you obviously did;-)

Dear Julie - Thank you so much for your beautiful words.

Gosh, 'Paperback writer' is going back some;-) The Beatles, I think.

Glad you enjoyed my poem;-)

So glad you are having so much success with your writing, Julie. You deserve to.

Computers are difficult things to get the hang of. You seem to be managing very well though.

Hope you have a good weekend and some sunshine, perhaps.

So true! "A Beautiful Find"

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"
"Beauty is through eyes of the beholden"
"Beauty is from the eyes of the believer"

Your poem - is beautiful &&
