Sometime showing glitz and glamour,
the cover of a book deceives.

When opened and read, the words
show no sparkle, or sex appeal.

Judging a book by its cover alone,
does not let you see what is within.

When we first meet another person,
it is very much the same.

Judging by their appearances alone,
the real person can be missed.

What appears inside can surprise!

A heart of gold, full of love and caring,
a real gem, full of scintillation.

If you are lucky, souls may connect,
they may even enchant.

Accept all, not for how they appear,
look deeper inside.

Look farther than their skin color,
or the clothes upon their back.

See the world through their eyes,
walk a while in their shoes.

Don't be fooled by glitz and glamour,
you may receive a prize.

A new friend won, exceptional and distinctive.

Someone very special, just as unique as you.
