My best feature..

Now this is not my original work. But I felt its my duty to share it with everyone, for its beautifully written and very inspiring. Somewhere deep down I feel every girl can connect with it. So here it goes...

I asked my friend this afternoon

As I gazed into my reflection,

What she thought of what I saw

She said,"Images are usually misconceptions."

I started to put down my appearance,

Wishing I was thinner or taller.

She looked at me with understanding eyes,

Saying,"Superficial wishes only make you smaller."

I knew she was right, but who was she to talk,

For she was every guy's dream

I tried to point this out to her.

She replied,"Appearances aren't always what they seem."

"Tell me five features you admire in yourself.", she said

And I knew my troubles had just begun.

For I could see the hurt in her expression,

When I couldn't even think of one.

I could not think of a single feature I liked,

And my stomach slowly started to sink.

So I turned to my friend and simply said,

"Well, what do you think?"

"I think you are looking at it all wrong",she said,

"And I wish I could make it clearer

Its what inside that makes you beautiful,

And not what can be seen in the mirror."

She said,"You're the most loving person I know,

And I hate to watch you fall apart.

If you want to know what makes you beautiful,

Your best feature is your heart."
