quietness and gentleness,
a personal, warm smile;
wisdom without brusqueness,
discretion without guile,
firmness without harshness,
meekness without weakness,
unselfishness and kindliness,
perceptive service, righteousness.

And Bee, that is perceptive of you! God's Spirit's work in us does gradually change ugliness to something more beautiful! Rhiannon

Lovely Rhiannon, A spiritual poem with an interesting structure. The lower case also seems somehow to strike the right note. Much enjoyed, as usual. Moya

Thank you, Moya, again. Glad you took to it. It was something I did a little while ago, and came across again, and rather liked. Character does affect what is really pleasing and beautiful doesn't it. regards, Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon, Words definitely to live by as Bear said. Wonderful poem. Jenny.

Thank you, Jenny, glad you thought so. As Bee intimated, we do all need divine help in trying to live more by our ideals, but the principle of character as part of beauty does seem so easily forgotten in our society. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon

I've dug into some of your old writing, and I really like this poem, with the way you choose and match the words to make them meaningful and delightful to read.
