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.
