Beauty

All those gorgeous tulips brightening the Spring
With colors of the rainbow, what radiance they bring!

Crowns of color standing bright above the melting snow - Their beauty then surrounds us, everywhere we go.

Spring won't last forever, for Summer's lease is near
The queens of Spring are fading as the Summer blooms appear.

Beauty that our eyes can see, is as fleeting as the rain - A temporary moment which may never come again.

Base your life on substance not appearances or vain
And evanescent moments which may only bring you pain.

Look beyond the beauty and find the lovely soul inside: For that beauty will shine on and on when the youthfulness has died.
