Outer Beauty Or Inner Valor

If you are never in debt and have never been sick

Then your journey through life will be easy and slick

If your heart’s ne’er been broken and foul words ne’er been spoken

Then you never have struggled, you’ve been able to juggle

Some people are cruisers while others are losers

The sleek abscond all ‘cause they’re having a ball

While the hapless miss out ‘cause they take the rough route

There’s no coasting downhill, so they strive for the skill…

To fight life’s worst battles while straddling the saddle

The roadblocks come always, so they explore all ways

To work out the glitches without getting stitches

They scuffle through hard times…they don’t doze on the sidelines

All cruisers are charming…but for me that’s alarming

Cause that‘s only the glimmer and not the life inner

They can be so alluring but that isn’t insuring

That they’ll do you what’s best, that you won’t be oppressed

If you want things done right and you have the foresight

Choose the one with the trial, not the one with the smile

The outside? Remember that beauty is skin-deep

The inside brings the prospect for a lifetime that’s sweet!
