Beauty Can Have Many Meanings

With the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder i for one can only agree
For what is a weed to one person may even be a flower to me
And beauty has many sides to it as you and i know all too well
What to me does seem as nice poetry in your eyes is mere doggerel
Of the many meanings to the word beauty so many examples to show
The beautiful woman to look at may not be a beautiful woman to know
The saying beauty is only skin deep in many instances not without truth
The beautiful to look at one may be selfish and conceited and sadly lacking in ruth
I know this beautiful person in her early sixties an aging widow of the town
She spends her spare time working for charitable causes helping those who in their luck are down
Not the town's most attractive to look at but she has a beautiful mind
And her's is the rarest of beauty the beauty of the compassionate and kind
What to you is an object of beauty may very well not be to me
And that beauty can have many meanings is how it is and will always be.
