There is one thing I want but never had. <br />I can not buy it and I am so sad. <br />Mother would have given it to me, <br />I know, <br />If she had chosen her other beau. But, she chose the one with inside beauty <br />that eyes can not see, <br />And not the other one with great outside <br />beauty, who was as charming as could be. <br />Dad was the one with the inside beauty that <br />will always stay. <br />It is not like outside beauty that with time, <br />fades away. Many people had great beauty at birth, <br />But, little or none when they left this earth, <br />Like time, it slowly passes away, <br />Until there was little, or none one day. I am now no longer sad, because of the outside <br />beauty I never had. <br />More important is my inside beauty from my Mom <br />and Dad. <br />It is deep inside me where it will always stay, <br />Because it can not be taken away.<br /><br />Lillian M.
