True Beauty

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 or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise,

Walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored,

renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed;

Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,

you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands;

one for helping yourself,

the other for helping others.
