What Is Beauty?

I was at Walmart this morning getting my oil changed. While I was waiting, I was flipping through a couple of "US" magazines, just out of curiosity. It made me really sad looking closely at celebrities lives, beyond the glamour and glitz. Because beyond that, you see a lot of instability, short lived relationships, and a lot of broken lives. It really made me sad. And I thought, 'So many people look up to this kind of life.' And then I thought, 'Why?' I asked the Lord if He would help me write a poem out of what I was feeling. And this is what I wrote:


Flipping through the pages, was just aching my soul,
because the majority of the people,
are making outer beauty their goal.
If you dig a little deeper, and take a look at their lives,
there's a growing epidemic,
that's destroying their lives.
Glamour is their idol, and it's destroying their soul,
somehow they think,
it's going to make them feel whole.
Beauty's not in glamour, and it's definitely not in fame,
the only thing that's attractive,
is what brings glory to God's name.
I'm closing this magazine, and sticking tightly to my source,
of relying on God's word,
which keeps my family on course.
