Beauty Within
One cool day
while at church
up in the balcony
one man was perched
With tears in his eyes
the man began to cry
"Tell me oh Lord
Please tell me why"
" Why am I so ugly
with this hunched back"
Screaming, "Tell me oh Lord"
as he began his attack
The Lord softly said
fulfilling him with grace
"Why you're the best looking hunch back
in this whole place"
"If everyone looked the same
it really wouldn't matter
for it's the beauty within
to which people are flattered"
Remember, we are all beautiful people
and come from places
doesn't matter what language we speak
or the color of our faces...
