The Beauty in Me


‘To look back on the young

To see the wonder and glory of age

As I turn my life

Each day

Page by page

It was hard to see it then

But now it is clear to me

That beauty was mine all along


Oh to capture that in the now

To look in the mirror and to feel proud

But the feeling is so faint

I blink and it fades away

So I try and try each day

To grasp it once again

Sick of looking back to see

The beauty that was once me’
