Hidden Beauty

 

Can I capture beauty

Or will it run away

Like an innocent child

Teasing in its play

Can I pin it down

With my brush or pen

Or will its pure perfection

Elude me once again

To try to capture beauty

Is a futile quest

We only touch its edges

At the very best

Man’s idea of beauty

Is strictly by his rules

God sees things so differently

He doesn’t suffer fools

But looks beyond the surface

To find a precious gem

And in His hands

He’ll polish it and then

Show it in its beauty

To those who want to see

His unique and perfect handiwork

That’s in you and is in me

About the Poet
I live in Queensland Australia with my husband son and daughter. I love the Lord and it is my passion to express my faith in whatever way He inspires me to. At the moment it's poetry.
