When the marvelous actress Audrey Hepburn revealed her beauty secrets, she was referring to Sam Levenson beautiful poem, her favourite poem which was read at her funeral. A tounching response that leaves us hope to become even more beautiful with years passing... |
"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food ith the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other ofr helping others. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she coms her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty ina woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring the she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grow." Sam Levenson |
