The beauty
of this world, with all it's pain
and tears and heartache,
Can only be found within
the heart and soul of your own life.
This is a sad world
filled with bitterness, anger,
hatred and wars.
So you must look within yourself,
to find beauty and solace, to face each day.
But if you find only anger and hate within,
then you must look for
the beauty outside of yourself.
Listen to the harmony of birds;
See the courage of wildlife;
Breathe deep the fragrances
of beautiful flowers;
Find the magic in an artist's painting;
Step into a gently flowing stream.
Lend your shoulder
to a lonely person to cry on;
Ponder on the thoughts
of a soldier with bowed head;
Roam the majestic forests;
And climb the mountains
that touch the heavens.
Listen to music that fills
your soul with peace,
and seize moments
to read written words
that fill your mind with compassion.
Only YOU can give yourself "peace".
Smile a little smile,
be a haven for others,
that they may see a glimpse of heaven.
Be the inspiration that helps others
find the beauty that is in this world.
