Is beautiful

She was beautiful

but not like

those girls in magazines.

She was beautiful

for the sparkle in her eyes

when she talked about

something she loved.

She was beautiful

for her ability 

to make other people smile,

even if she was sad.

No, she wasn't beautiful

for something as

temporary as her looks.

She was beautiful,

deep down to her soul.

She is beautiful.

~F. Scott Fitzgerald
