Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder!

She was not beautiful.
Nothing about her was extraordinary.
Nothing about her made her
stand out in a crowd.
She grew up in a family of six.
The eldest, she learnt
responsibility at an early age.
As she grew stronger, and brighter,
She instilled a sort of light
cheer to whomever she met.

She was not beautiful.
But she made others
feel beautiful about themselves.
She meets a rebel boy
who thinks he's all man.
Befriending him,
she teaches him how to read,
A little boost the man
needed to go to college.

They became friends fast and she fell,
Fast in love with her rugged,
handsome student.
The "man"
then finds
himself in a dilemma
He soon found himself
in love with a girl.
A girl so beautiful,
she turned even
the grouchiest men's head.
Her hair was a halo of light around her,
Her eyes the bluest blue of ocean.

Like an angel he tells his tutor
Like a beautiful angel.
The girl swallows a lump at her throat.
She was not beautiful
She did not possess the heart
of the one she loved
But she did not care.
As long as he was happy,
She would be or
so she tried to,
She helped him write
the most beautiful letter
to his angel
All the time envisioning
that it was she herself
Receiving those very letters.
And so the girl helped him
choose the right words,
Buy the right gifts for his angel
His angel brought him much joy
And much pain to the girl
who cried behind her smiles.
But that never stopped
her from giving more
Than she will ever receive.

Then one day,
all hell broke loose
The angel
he loved left him
for another man,
A richer,
more successful man.
The boy was stunned
He was so hurt
he did not speak for days
The girl went to him
He cried on her shoulder
and she cried with him
He hurt and so did she.

Time went by.
And so the wounds heal.
The boy realizes
something about his friend/tutor
He never realized before.
How her laughter sounded heavenly
Or how her smiles
brightened up the darkest days.
Or simply how beautiful,
yes beautiful she looked to him.

Beautiful.
This plain, simple girl
was beautiful to him.
And he began to fall.
Fall so in love
with this beautiful girl.
On one day,
he picked up all his courage
to see her.
He walked to her house,
nervous and fidgeting.
Running his thoughts
over and over in his head.
He was going to tell her
how beautiful she was to him.
He was going to tell her
how wonderfully in love
he was with her.
He knocked.
No one was home.

The next day he found out,
The beautiful girl
he fell in love with
had brain aneurysm
That put her into a coma.
The doctors were grim
and the family decided
to let her go.

One final time
he got to see her.
He held her hand.
He stroked her hair,
And he cried
for this beautiful girl.
He cried for
he will never see her smile
Or hear her speak his name

He cried.
But it was too late.
The beautiful girl was buried
and the heavens broke out
In a beautiful spring shower,
a cry for their loss.
She was the most beautiful girl
in the world.
Look around you.
Aren't there a lot of plain faces?
Take a good look
A real good look
or you might miss out
On that beautiful person

Forever
