Array ( [sid] => 153986 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Unpolished Gem [time] => 2009-10-11 14:39:04 [hometext] => This poem is also the title of a book that I am writing. It is actully a poem advising foolish people not to take their love for granted. [bodytext] => Many men will walk away
from a plain rock that they may come across
but unlike most men, I know that there's beauty within
and will keep it while they suffer a loss.
A diamond to most is reason to brag and to boast
because it glitters and is lovely to see
but I'll tell you what, a diamond uncut
would be passed by most easily.
A woman to me, is like a diamond you see
men go for those that other men would like to meet
but many a guy would pass right by
a plain woman that is just as lovely and sweet.
I've found that a plain woman can truly love a man
so can an obese woman or what ever the case
if men were truly smart, they'd search a woman's heart
and not just hunt for a beautiful face.
The beauty that men see could lead to treachery
if true love is not involved
to find a good woman men must, look for love not lust
and truly love her, then their problems will be solved.
A plain woman you see, has inner beauty
like a diamond that's trapped in a stone
however, many men hunt a shine or nice body design
which is why many men are always alone.
Let's just face the facts, unless this is how she acts
there's no such thing as an ugly woman to me
men, we should judge in haste we all have different taste
besides, ugliness is in the heart not in what we see.
All that glitters is not gold so I've been told
therefore, I never judge a book by it's cover
a woman with no shine could still be made mine
and I wouldn't care how she looks to another.
Women likewise, pass up on good guys
for the handsomer men that they long to hold
but they should look twice, for there are men just as nice
they are just harder to see, like burried gold.
All men and women out there should take heed and take care
of your love ones whether they are pretty to you or not
for there is plenty of others who'll see the beauty in your lovers
and will steal what you don't know you've got.
So when out on a date, or seeking a mate
don't pass up the plain her or plain him
look well before you leap, for that rock you don't keep
could indeed be an unpolished gem.
