Simple Beauty

For all the elegance we feign,

All our sophistication,

We still fall short of true beauty

As found in His creation.

We fashion granite statuettes

Our canvases capture grace,

But we can’t fully duplicate

The beauty of a flower’s face.

It’s hard, sometimes, to understand

We’re but a vain pretender;

Though we aspire to create

Beauty of rarest splendor,

We can never quite emulate

That which God can render.
