God's gift of human beauty

So many eyes, and yet still eyes. So many lips and yet still the welcome of a smile. Hair that is braided, pinned, trimmed, swirled, or left long. Skin that glows with the expectancy of youth. Wrinkles that speak of long nights and pleasant days and many, many years. The laugh that lingers in the eyes. The uncertainty bunched between eyebrows. Hand that have played accompaniment to the most intricate tales and signaled surprise and loss and love and care and friendship. Thank God for the gift of other people.
