Beauty lies within

Beautify the heart to sparkle like shining pearls.
Dress it with fashionable linings of gold.
Cover your heart of gold with exquisite beads
of love.

Put on a silvery necklace teeming with kindness.
Apply gloss to radiate with light like the lustrous ring.
Polish the mirror of your heart to glow like fancy
glitter on nails.

Spray your heart with lavender scented perfume to
remove the stench of ugliness.
Cut the split ends, repairing the texture of goodness,
oozing with luxurious softness like shampooed hair.

Rub fairness cream on your heart to remove the
black circles of darkness within.
press the pimples to squeeze out pride and
jealousy.

Outward adornment is deceiving like the devil who
masquerades in light.
This beauty is fleeting, this charm is deceptive.
True beauty lies within.

Let God rejuvenate you with his glory.
To win the pageant for the brightest heart.
To be crowned with a beautiful emerald crown
for fearing the Lord.
