I once new a girl who was beautiful beyond compare, she said that beauty was an inner thing for that I did not care because she was beautiful, beautiful beyond compare, sometimes I’d simply have to admire her she really was quite rare. She said you could love people for a short time but that just drove me wild I just wanted to look everlastingly at her everlasting smile. And then one day it ended, I knew it would come to pass, I had to let her go for such love could never last. And what was, was no longer and all I could do was pray, to see that day again when a beauty such as hers would stay.<br /><br />Sheldon Carruthers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-beyond-compare/
