When we are born, we are given tools to create a life of beauty. These same tools can be used to perpetuate ugliness and destruction. Hopefully we will understand at some point in our lives that we can decide to reflect beauty. Tangible works of art fade with time, chip from walls, and may be discredited by passing trends.

But a life of love lasts forever.

Love that never told can be
; For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
Love to faults is always blind,
Always is to joy inclined,
Lawless, winged, and unconfined,
And breaks all chains from every mind.
