Natural Heart (Reader Poem)

Nikki writes...


Natural beauty comes from the heart

It's true and strong right from the start

If the face and body is all I can see

Then bad for you and worse for me

I've grown up shallow and wasted my youth

The goodness of my heart tells me the truth

It doesn't matter what you see

It only matters how I feel about me

Natural beauty comes from our maker

He is the giver, we are the taker

Do we doubt his wisdom and rely on our own

If we do this, we truly are alone

Now that I've learned the truth of it all

I wonder what it was, before that I saw

Now I look for beauty only in the heart

Which is what I should've done right from the start
