...Disabled Of The Mind...Ugly Of The Heart...


There are people all around us…
Who are able bodied, this is true,
But they are disabled in the mind,
For negative thoughts come seeping through!
Being disabled in the mind though,
Lets them lead a disabled life...
A disabled life of their own making...!
They are a prisoner of their own strife...

For some, as it does for others
The body may not react the same…
Because being disabled in the body,
For some people, leads to shame!
Me!  I am not ashamed of myself!
Though some people may be ashamed of me,
But just like that, this could be them!
And in truth, I don't even care you see!

I am more than capable of the mind,
And my heart and soul are true,
And no matter what - and no matter when,
I just do what I have to do!
I am this way for a reason!
And I don't question why,
For I will be enlightened…by God,
On the day I die!

You see, my body isn't perfect,
But can you tell me true?
Just what perfect is?
Because no-one has a clue!
We can't define perfect,
For God didn't draw a plan…
On how we are supposed to look…!
He just created ‘man!'

He never said – He didn't tell!
And not once did He say…
That there was anything perfect…
He never deemed that on creation day!
So who can deem ugly and beauty?
Who can say perfect, is as perfect can be!
No-one can, for there is no proof,
The only one who knows, is He!

The only beauty and ugly we have,
Is of the heart and mind…
For the caring heart and loving heart,
Therein is the beauty that you'll find!
The heart that has no compassion,
And has no tender loving care…
That's the ugly within us,
The hateful heart that doesn't care!

So look to yourself this day,
And tell me what you see…
A beautiful perfect person,
Or an ugly person as ugly can be!
When you look to your reflection,
In the mirror hanging there,
Tell me, what do you see this day?
A blackened heart or one who'll care!

What does your reflection tell you?
Does it show a person beautiful and kind?
Or does it show the opposite…
Is it nasty and ugly that you find?
Look to your looking glass,
Tell me what you see!
Is it beauty looking back?
Or is it a heart as black as can be!

It's the softness within us that counts!

…BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

We are beheld by God and He alone!
