Beauty is god that put us on this world to love
Beauty is the angels in heaven above
Beauty is the love in our hearts and the power in our souls
Beauty is Mother Nature and her natural casues that we can not control
Beauty is our body, organs, bones, and skin that makes us whole
Beauty is the uniqueness in all different shapes, figures, and form
Beauty is the remembrance of whom we mourn
Beauty is the knowledge that makes us smart
And the bond with are love ones that makes us not want to depart
Beauty is our personal idenity that makes us who we are
Beauty is everything in the world that is bizzare
Beauty is our teardrops that slowly fall down our cheeks
Beauty is all the unusual languages our voices speak
Beauty is each word written in the bible to the lips of the preacher
Beauty is within each wonderful creature
Beauty is the willing to live
Beauty is the gifts we give
Beauty is all of are fears;
Beauty is the atmosphere
To the old bright stars to the burning sun
To the gray cold moon to the life on earth
To the baby blue or dark night sky to the deep oceans
To the natural forests to the snowy, tall mountains
To each group of animals to the forgotten and forseen mammels
To the sweet scent of flowers to the spring showers
To you and to me
Beauty is all around us just open your eyes
Trust me you will see
That beauty is everywhere it's even unseen.

I adore this poem! It's simply wonderful! I really like the repeated beginnings of the lines. Each line, in itself, is not especially remarkable. But as a whole community of words, the poem is fantastic and beautiful and entirely worth reading.
