she sees beauty in everything <br /> <br />the abandoned factory with its broken windows <br />telling stories about times gone by <br /> <br />the plastic ring from the gum machine <br />which is more precious than diamonds or pearls <br /> <br />the weed trying to push its way through the concrete <br />with more nobility than a well groomed rose bush <br /> <br />the spider crawling along the kitchen counter <br />that she carefully picks up and puts outside <br /> <br />the stray dog huddled next to the air vent for warmth <br />safe in the knowlege he's safe for a few more minutes <br /> <br />the homeless guy on the bus, who surely hasn't showered in weeks <br />yet carries an air of dignity and grace <br /> <br />her dying friend's face as he hangs on to what joy there is left <br />still extending kindness to those around him <br /> <br />she sees beauty in everything <br />except the mirror<br /><br />Cia Frizzell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everything-is-beauty/
