a smiling girl,
looking back at the world
giving it everything she has
fighting for her beliefs
and standing on her own,
that is beautiful
being passionate,
dreaming big and achieving goals,
chasing after everything,
in a blink of an eye
holding on to her innocence,
not afraid to stand alone
waving her heart for all to see,
letting her light shine on the world
with a simple smile,
her sweetness calms the seas
that is beautiful
grasping memories and charishing the past,
yet excited for the future
leaving just a piece of yourself behind,
for everyone to remember
yes, you are beautiful
the one with fire in her eyes,
and love in her heart
swinging on the swings,
of the world's playground
with dreams on your mind,
and faith in your heart,
you will always be beautiful

I really enjoyed this poem. The example of what is true beauty were amazing and heartfelt. You described so creatively all the things I was looking for in this contest.
Just one thing in this line:
"grasping memories and charishing the past," I think you meant cherishing. Thanks for the beautiful entry and good luck.
