The Beauty of the World

As I look around me, my smile can't
Hide itself.
If I listen carefully enough,
I can hear the wind whispering Beautiful words into my ear.

I see smiles, on passing by strangers
Faces,
I feel the beauty of greatness all
Around me.
I hear the soft echos of kindness
Around every corner.

The trees stand tall, and wise in their
Many years of life.
The grass, a fresh feast of green for
My eyes.
The sea, a soft caressing blanket for
The plentiful sand.
The sky, a safe haven for the moon And the stars at night, and the sun
And its' clouds at day.

But what I find much more beautiful,
More beautiful than the sight of of a
Butterfly in the midst of a field of
Flowers,
More beautiful than the chirps of the
Hummignbird in the early hours of
The morning.
What I find the most beautiful of
Everything this world has in it,

Is:
The laughter I hear of children all
Around me.
The happiness of two people as they
Stare into one another's eyes, nothing
Able to get in the way of their
Inseperable love.
The way a father hugs his daughter
With pride, then watches her go to
School.
The way a mother wipes her child's
Tears after pain beyond recognition.
The way a friend hugs her friend
Tightly, promising that everything is
Going to be alright.
The way a person standing up for
Peace, becomes people, standing
Up for rights.

The way a falling tear, turns into a
Wiped one.
The way a pinky promise, the way a
Pact, turns into a lifetime together.
The way a nightmare seen alone,
Becomes a dream when faced
Together.
The way a punch to the shoulder,
Turns into an apologetic hug.

This is where the true beauty of the
World lies,
I feel.
The wonder of a world,
Is found in its' humanity.
The kindness of a word,
Is treasured in a devestated heart.

The beauty of the world,
Lies not in its' scenery,
It lies in its's people.
