Far beneath the surface, underneath the skin
Lies a beauty more precious than any
for it is the beauty within
Enclosed in an average wrapper
may lie a heart of gold
Or a heart so precious and tender
that for no price could it be sold
So quickly our eyes are to deceive us
of what a true treasure may be
That to find one that is truly genuine
we must look through our hearts to see
A lesson so few ever realize
and one that others may never learn
Sacrificing themselves of a valuable prize
that their eyes forbid them to earn
