I was standing in line at a checkout store
on an afternoon so bright
in front of me was a lady in line
my emotions froze at the site
she had been maimed by a tragedy
one I know I could not have survived
she was buying clothes for her daughter
I'm sure her daughter kept her alive
I didn't sense any bitterness
a shock and a total suprise
she kept smiling at her daughter
and everybody in line
she looked at me and smiled
completely stripped of pride
the beauty of her soul cast a loving glow
making her beautiful
guilt and shock overcame me
as everyone stopped and just stared
how could she give so much love to the world
how indeed could she have cared
she looked at me and smiled
completely stripped of pride
the beauty of her soul cast a loving glow
making her beautiful
someday I hope to meet that lady in line
to thank her for what I have learned
that beauty is not for a mirror
it's eternal in you and I
