H. Fitzgerald Durbin Poems

Some say beauty is only skin deep, and to some this may apply.
Outward appearance is not real beauty, I'll tell you the reason why.
For true beauty lies within the soul, and comes from the heart.
It comes not from what can be seen of us, but what we may impart. True beauty is not how we may adorn ourselves, others to impress.
...

Days may come and days may go, some go fast and some go slow.
But this we know no matter when, We're never quite ready for them.
And when they come and then go by, we do steadily our skills apply.
But no matter what, each day must end, and we look for another to began.
...

Two chickens met in the barnyard-A Rooster and a hen.
And that's the way it has been-Since the world began.
The argument has been strong-almost as a plague.
This argument about which came first-the chicken or the egg. But this argument seems so foolish-if horse sense we apply.
