True Beauty Is Poem by mark nwagwu

Beauty and elegance is
death
it’s only in death revealed

nothing in life has meaning unless
interred in the joys of heaven

our fortunes follow us disposing us
according to our will

what then are we
if we will not the good
that the elegance we bear in our bodies
may be manifest in our death
in the presence of God
to whom is rendered all we are
in whom our good lives

Then grieve not Angela
Stella’s beauty and elegance
has gained all the splendour
of Eternal Charm
the Giver of all that is beautiful
a beautiful Gift Himself
for He can only give us
what He truly is.
