A BEAUTIFUL PERSON
 
 
 
Have you ever wondered,
 
Have you ever thought
 
Just what it takes
 
To make a person
 
Particularly exceptional
 
In so many varied ways
 
To earn that general
 
Acknowledged title,
 
Of a person beautiful.
 
 
 
Most stand in sincere
 
Admiration and awe
 
When that rare
 
Opportunity occurs
 
To personally interface
 
With one so called.
 
There is an aura
 
Of gentleness, of kindness
 
And understanding ways,
 
A feeling of good will
 
Of inner peace and happiness.
 
 
 
We are instantly transformed,
 
Elated with the experience
 
Taken to a higher plane
 
Than ever before
 
Appreciative of every moment
 
That this rare event accords.
 
 
 
Why canīt we all be
 
Outstanding and beautiful
 
Is there some magic formula.
 
Do we each aspire and strive
 
To do the best for everyone;
 
How many of us can affirm this.
 
You can readily agree with me,
 
The answer is virtually always,
 
Not really me.
 
 
 
Yet, there is some good in each of us
 
And quite a lot in many.
 
There is quirk in our thinking though
 
That blocks our being outstanding
 
It is, my concerns first above everyone
 
And that is our undoing.
 
 
 
The very next time
 
Should you have the chance
 
To meet with a person beautiful
 
Take heed to mend your ways
 
For you too can strive to be one.
