What do you think this poem is about?

Beauty

Being born alive marks for beauty itself
every pair of eyes that blinks when amaze
a set of ears that is tuned to sweet lullaby
unique hands and feet that hold balance
the nose and mouth that open to breathe life
you and I are the masterpieces of true art.
