Garden of Life
Beauty is in The Eye of The Beholder.
In my garden are many varieties of plants.
They enjoy the sun and the rain.
They live in harmony with each other.
Some are beautiful to the eye.
Some are big some are small and some are strange.
Some even stink and some beauties have thorns.
I love them all.
There are many types of people.
If you have ever been on public transportation,
in a big city you know what I mean.
Some are pleasing to the eye.
Some may not be.
But no matter how they may appear to us.
Every person is important.
And no one is perfect.
True beauty is in our hearts or souls,
when this is good our thoughts can be kind.
Our hearts are clearly seen by God.
Some outwardly beautiful people,
have committed heinous crimes.
Even well educated judges, lawyers, Doctors etc,
can plan evil and commit crimes.
To me egotism and pride is ugly.
It allows us to think we are better then others.
When in reality we may be petty and childish or unkind.
How you want people to see you and treat you,
should be the way you treat and see others.
Love is a action a way of life.
I am glad God is not like us.
He looks beyond our faults and see’s our needs.

Very well said, so very true… we are all different, our hearts carry our ture selves, not our looks.

Beautiful writing Laura.Words and actions can either build up or tear down.How many want others to tear them down?Noone.What we do to others, should be how we want others to treat us. KIND

That’s right, we should be more like our heavenly Father who rains on both just and the unjust…

EXCELLENT poem. So true. God is definitely the Best. He makes me so happy after years of depression….so happy in fact that I drive people a little crazy with my happiness.
