we were all beautiful once

we were all beautiful
once.
before we befriended
the sun,
before gravity
and grief
got a hold of us.
we were all lovely
creatures when
newborn, held in our
mother's arms,
we were like lights
walking about
with our smiles
and glistening hair, 
the gait
in our step, the cheerfulness
that one has
when not knowing
what is yet to come.
we were all
beautiful once, and many
still are
if you take the time
to talk to them.
