Beautiful people do not just happen.: A poem by Sujatha Sairam

Acres and acres of property,
Millions and millions of currency,
A crowd of people as followers,
An array of cars in the garage 
Merely speak of a person’s social status.
What really counts and speaks about them is their character.
Humility, generosity, politeness blended with lots of love 
Mould a person’s real character.
Character lightens up and beautifies the inner self,
This beauty attracts those who come in contact.
To make this beauty last till eternity,
One must forge and hammer oneself into it
For character is what God and the angels know of us.
That’s why it’s oft quoted
Beautiful people do not just happen.
