Good Character Is Inner Beauty ~ Kalon Poem by Daya Nandan

The most important beauty comes from within,
The qualities of attraction that lies beyond the skin,
The composure of virtues of the mind and heart,
The true gift that brings good character to a start,

Good character is far greater than a pretty face,
Good character can put actions in the right place,
Good character is the father of all greatness and joy,
A good character should be within every girl and boy,

Skin deep beauty fades fast with the test of time,
But inner beauty keeps your being at its prime,
Never doubt the importance of virtues good men hold,
For the value of good character surpasses any amount of gold,

Have a moral code, embrace values of humanity within,
Be compassionate and kind, abstain from evils and sin,
Wear your virtues like a crown for it nourishes the soul,
Helps keep the mind in composure, puts anger under control,
