There is Beauty

 

They made a handsome couple,
both modest and unaware.
I would go further there was beauty there.

 

Pulling and heaving her way up through life,
a wonderful mother and caring wife.
Working hard living life to the full.
I can honestly say it was never dull.

 

Life can be ugly the things we do ugly too.
I saw in them a beauty the ugliness could not erase.
A beauty which life would never fade.

 

He boxed in the army and skiid in Trieste.
After having his appendix out,
he put his yoga skills to the test.

 

Beauty is not worn like a dress or suit.
You cannot play it like a harp or flute.
It cannot be put on or taken off.
Beauty you do not wear.
Beauty is just there.
