Audrey Hepburn Eloquence And Elegance

'The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It's the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.'
Quote by Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn Eloquence And Elegance.

At sixty three you went too soon,
But that is Heaven's great gain.
Embracing children you couldn't save,
And for that there is no blame.

You tried so hard and gave so much,
Now among them with your gentle touch.
Of earthly pain and ills now finally set free,
They now smile and laugh for you Audrey.

Enduring the abrupt adversities of childhood,
Embracing the constant challenges of womanhood.
So proud, so strong, so defiant you stood,
For only you dear Audrey possibly could.

Your life's been full, you've savoured much,
Good times, good friends, a lover's touch.
There are simply two words so well refined,
That sum you up and are beautifully defined.

Like your Givenchy little black dress,
Two suited words we lovingly express.
Eloquence and Elegance.

'Nothing is impossible,
The word itself says,
I'm possible.'

You perfect the art of gracious living,
Life's true humanitarian forever giving.
Your name today people still speak of,
An elegant woman so filled with love.

'I believe in being strong,
When everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls,
Are the prettiest girls.
I believe in tomorrow is another day,
And I believe in miracles.'

The way you spoke of hungry children's plight,
Such eloquence expressed with all your might.
You saved and enriched lives beyond belief,
You fed the famished and soothed their grief.

'It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea,
That others come first and you come second.
This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up.
Others matter more than you do,
So, don't fuss dear, get on with it.'

Your leading romantic robust men,
You forever enthral and enchant.
From that rugged Gregory Peck,
To that most smooth Cary Grant.

With them you've captured a classic scene,
It's pure bottled magic on the silver screen.
From a  thrilling Charade till Wait Until Dark,
You're every movie bears the Audrey hall-mark.

'Why change? Everyone has their own style.
When you have found it,
You should stick to it.'

In My Fair Lady you played Eliza Doolittle so superbly,
Your magical performance left movie goers all at sea.
Then you surpassed your own fame's epiphanies,
As dizzy Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's.

'Paris is always a good idea.'

Your poise, your charm, your beauty bounds,
You're everything that so simply astounds.
The Roman Holiday scene with The Mouth Of Truth,
An early classic displaying your fountain  of youth.

'Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake,
Does a lot for a lot of people.
It does for me.'

When we wake, or if we sleep,
Still the memory of you we keep.
Of loves tender light that resides,
In the depths of your brown eyes.

'People, even more than things,
Have to be restored, renewed,
Revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
Never throw out anyone.'

Your elegant legacies you've left behind,
Not to sing their praises would be a crime.
Most beautiful woman of the 20th century,
And most heart-felt woman of all time.

'As you grow older,
You will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself,
The other for helping others.'

You shared your love, your gifted magic art,
With enraptured millions without any restraint.
And later in life when cruel sickness beckoned,
You carried on with no whisper of complaint.

'I was born with an enormous need for affection,
And a terrible need to give it.'

So beautiful and forever unique,
A woman of style, a woman so chic.
To sum you up with just two words,
Isn't so very hard to do.
These words so seldom used together,
Two words perfectly suited to you.
These words of love, these words of hope,
Of graces that shine so true.
Eloquence and Elegance,
These words are simply you.

You're a star of priceless beauty,
You're a gem without a flaw.
You're a friend to all good people,
You live on forever more.

We love and miss you Audrey.
We always will.

Always.

'The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.'

I hope you all enjoy this poem and when mentioning Audrey Hepburn's good name it was good to see, her name struck a magical chord and instant recognition with you all.
It was evident in all your eyes, especially yours Mimii.
And darned good to know that a good persons memory never fades and clearly is never forgotten.
