Beauty is...Life
by:Madison Beck

Beauty is the wind that you feel on your cheek,
Taking your breath away so that you can hardly speak.
Beauty is the rain that makes water colors in Spring,
That makes the colors on a butterfly's delicate wing.
The leaves in the Autumn falling to the ground~
Yellow, orange, green and brown.
There are many things of beauty,
Like a newborn baby, "Oh what a cutie!"
Or a masterpiece painting, a drawing with a pencil,
A dainty hand using a silver utensil.
And now you can see with clearer eyes,
The simple beauty of earth and skies.
So even through tough trials and strife,
You can still find happiness in the beauty of...Life!
