Beauty is a baby’s eye
a mother’s kiss
a child’s ‘why?’
a sister’s special loving art
a father’s hands
a brother’s heart.

Beauty is a farewell wish
a fervent prayer
a child’s bliss
a smile after many tears
a memory
a brand new year.

Beauty is an aged nun
a faithful priest
a task well done
youth’s untroubled hearty laugh
a quiet church
an epitaph.

Beauty is a Savior born,
a healing hand
a nail, a thorn
a death to end all death’s command
a love, a life
a God in man.
