The pattern of a wedding dress's lace
The smile of a newborn baby’s face
The glittering glow of the mother’s grace
The soft padding of a toddler’s pace
Things that are beautiful.
The first breath from a baby’s lungs
The first word from the baby’s tongue
The first tune a child has sung
The first smile from a face so young
Things that are beautiful.
The last smile of a person of old
The last words of wisdom, of pure gold
The last embrace, the last chance to hold
The last eulogy that shall be told
Things that will always be beautiful.

I was rather pressed for rhymes so it might be a bit awkward...
