Rare Find

It's a rare find these days,
to find a beautiful mature person.
It's is either
beautiful and still a baby,
or matured and ugly.
not because it's the natural law,
but because most of us grow,
bringing with us negativities.
It's not just because of the law of gravity,
that the skin sags and
eye bugs drop in asymmetry
but more because of keeping under our skin,
resentment, frustrations
unforgiveness,  
anger and envy.
and I'm not pointing here
mere physical beauty.
 
 
We can still grow old gracefully,
maybe not physically pretty.
but we can dress our personality
with grace, kindness and congeniality.
It doesn't need an expensive jewelry
to show or bring out the best in us.
 
a warm smile than a frown
a cheerful disposition than a "feeling down"
for sure can make us grow with inner calm.
 
like an unattractive duckling
into graceful swan
or like an ugly caterpillar
into a beautiful butterfly.
or like a pure gold
that keeps its luster
despite the passage of time.
