Beautiful - 500 for gold!

Hey! it's my first contest! And there's a whopping 500 points for the gold trophy!

So my prompt for you is: What does it mean to be beautiful?

I am a Christian, and I spend a lot of my time wrestling with the idea of beauty and what that means to God. We live in a world full of false images and unrealistic standards. Is beauty only skin deep? I want to know what you think.

Whether from a Christian perspective or not, please describe to me what makes a person beautiful, from the inside out.

Rules:

1. No bashing religion please, or the poetry of others,
2. No sticky caps, chat lingo, dirtypretty, or crappy rhyme. If you must rhyme, please make it creative!
3. No erotica or swearing, thanks.
4Have fun and really dig deep!

Thanks for entering, I look forward to being inspired!
