GIFTS OF SECRET

Before us lies two gifts........
the gift inside, no matter the value,
is considered less if in brown wrap.
But as for garbage in a fancy paper and ribbon,
priceless?
Why not let the wrapper go, for it is rubbish.
The inner gift is the delight of the finder.
Not the wrapping which serves one purpose,
to cloak for a moment.
As we dig into the comeliness of  out,
we look with disgust upon the inward worthless filth.
The truly insightful man will not judge on shroud alone,
but on the prize and beauty he discovers inside.
More often then naught......................
the one wise enough to see the value of the inner gift is most commonly in like wrap.
These meek and internally beautiful people need just to let others gaze upon there secret glory.
For in the eyes of the beholder, they shall resemble a fine mural.
A rose by any other smell would have just as many thorns.

Just a thought by: Justin H. Sanderson
