She was beautiful,
But not like those girls in the magazines.
She was beautiful for the way she thought.
She was beautiful for that sparkle in her eye when she talked about something she loved.
She was beautiful for her ability to make others smile even when she was sad.
No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks.
She was beautiful deep down to her soul.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world can't be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."
