The feelings that come from
deep within, are your special gift.
For I have met so many out there,
who’s hearts and souls are adrift.
It is from the deep inside, that
beauty gets its lovely name.
The things you do, the love you give,
the kindness that you aim.
To tell the truth a plain Jane,
she sets my heart on fire.
They have gotten where they are,
with a big heart and true desire.
We know who plays the biggest games,
they stand out in a crowd.
I’ve always love the kinder girls
with whom you can be proud.
To help your friends and give
them hope, in their time of need.
Is the thing we find most beautiful,
this seems to be your creed.
Do me a favor look in the mirror,
stare deep into your soul.
Tell me you're not beautiful,
and then we’ll take a poll.
Of all the people you have helped,
and loved along the way.
I hope we don’t ask every one,
we may have to count for days.
I have never met you, but there’s
surely one thing I can tell.
Your friends think you’re beautiful,
you should feel the same as well.

I really enjoyed the rhyme scheme used here. It flowed very well and was easy to read. The story was so wonderful too. In this verse:
"Do me a favor look in the mirror,
stare deep into your soul.
Tell me your not beautiful,
and then we’ll take a poll." I think it should be "you're" not "your". Other than that a great poem with deep and wonderful meaning. Thanks for entering and good luck.

Thank you for helping me with my mistake I get so wrapped up in saying what I have on my mind, things that I should catch I do not. Thank you again, Boog
