Today's entry is based on the email I got from a friend. Though this poem is attributed to this legendary beauty, it was in fact written by Sam Levenson. It is simple, but meaningful.
Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
Sam Levenson
In an age where 'beauty' has been defined by plastic surgeries and face augmentations, I guess almost anyone can pass off as being beautiful.
But it is the inner person who makes a whole of difference. The one who displays empathy, compassion, humility, modesty and a whole range of values that are slowly eroding today.
A heart that is caring and loving...will never grow old.
