The Audrey Hepburn Way
Bev Vaverka

Probably most of those reading this do not know who Audrey Hepburn was, but to me, she was one of the most beautiful actresses there was when I was growing up. Some of here movies were Roman Holiday, The Nun’s Story, and my favorite, My Fair Lady. The following poem was a favorite of hers, and “she practiced what she preached”. From Family Circle magazine: “After a life of glamour, she spent the last years of her life serving needy children in Africa and Latin America as a special ambassador to the United Nations Children’s Fund.”

Time Tested Beauty

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you’ll never walk alone.

The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.

Never throw out anybody.

And remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Your “good old days” are still ahead of you.

May you have many of them.
