A Slowly Disappearing Beauty Poem by Glennish Gemperoa

its beauty is somehow hidden
you might need different eyes to see it
yet, indeed its beauty is amazing
not a single human can withstand

its eyes shine brightly
its head facing God
Then it stands there in the grass
lifts its leafy arms to pray

But like all the beauty in the world,
the older it gets, the beauty then slowly disappears
but the beauty was suppose to remain there
just because we are attracted to it, we slowly take it
away...

This poem is for mother earth and a special request from M.D.
