Hidden Beauty

Lost beauty is

The photos

we forgot to take,

The conversations

we meant to have,

The trips

we intended to go on,

The friends

we took for granted,

The advice

we failed to heed,

The confidence

we used to possess,

The relationships

we did not value,

The opportunities

we let pass by.
