Beauty

Beauty:
the expression on a starving child's face
while eating his first hot meal
the comfort in their knowledgeable eye's
while putting on a warm coat

Beauty:
the smile on a gifted child's face
when getting his first "A"
the joyous hope in the mother's heart
when realizing he will be alright

Beauty:
feeling the heart beat every second
knowing he has weeks to live
seeing the light at the end
knowing he has suffered too long

Beauty:
having the fortune to make things right
after years of disappointing her
showing the worth of a second chance
after taking her love for granted

Beauty:
reminding her she is not alone
as he lovingly holds her hand
stroking the tear from her cheek
as the last breath escapes her lips
