God Given Trait

Sometimes when I’m in a museum 
an angel appears in marble or paint
arrests my gaze, my muscles faint.

I’ve seen a baby smiling in wonder 
her hands reaching for a mobile 
as she has her first moment of splendor.

We spend hours arranging a centerpiece
travel to see something that is priceless
spend all we have on a masterpiece.

We see in a form what is exquisite>
All of us know awe when we feel it.
We say beauty is a God-given trait.

Why then do we have this difficulty? 
We look in a mirror and fail to see
that we glow with a God given beauty. 

I hope this poem offers you some hope.
