Eternal Beauty

There are some things in this world that will just be eternally beautiful. Like giving birth; though maybe not the process itself; but the end result is beautiful. The changing of the seasons, the subtle changing of the leaves from the vibrant greens to the just as vibrant oranges, reds and yellows of Autumn is also an eternal beauty. People can be eternally beautiful as well, but not on the outside. Only those whose outsides reflect their insides...you know them. The selfless, unobservant, always giving, always welcoming people that make you feel like scum in comparison. They are the eternal beauties of the human race. 


I wonder at times if there is such a thing as a forgotten beauty. Like at one time was there something that was considered beautiful that is not thought of that way anymore? Is a tire swing in a yard; a sign of a play place for children; a forgotten beauty? How about the shy smiling face of someone just making friends for the first time? What about the imagination of a small child? 

In time people will remember the forgotten beauties of this world, just as they remembered the forgotten heros' and the forgotten miracles of the day. Time moves on, people grow older and change. But thankfully, in this world...there will always be eternal beauty.
