Is only rain beautiful?
There is beauty in the scorching sun.
Is it only the flower that's beautiful?
There is beauty even in a dry, falling leaf.
Are only sunrises beautiful?
No, I find beauty in sunsets too.
But is it only the truths that are beautiful?
There is beauty in lies uttered for a holy sake.
Is it only the white and fair that's beautiful?
There is beauty and comfort in the blindness of the dark.
Are only the hi-tech cities that are beautiful?
There is beauty and peace in the countryside.
Does beauty belong just to the youth?
There is beauty in every wrinkled line of the old.
Is only deer beautiful?
There is beauty and strength in the cores of an elephant.
Is it only the extra-ordinary that are beautiful?
There is beauty even in the very ordinary.
Is beauty only the standards set by us, humans?
There is beauty in every creation of God.
All that matters in the end, is our heart.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this when I realized that I always look for good in everything and everyone, to the point that I started looking for good in people who have clearly labelled themselves as bad. I can't really decide what is beautiful and what is not. I believe there's good in all and we all have started from goodness but have gone astray in due course.
