A Poem I Love....

While it has no correlation to this blog directly, I got sent this poem in my email this morning by one of my best friends and it is one of my favorites. Therefore; I would like to share it with you all. It is a reminder of what defines true beauty. It was written by Audrey Hepburn and was read years later at her funeral.

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. "
