Forget the Cover Read the Book

"Forget the Cover Read the Book."

A wise man once told me to not get too involved
with the cover but read the contents of the book.
There's a story when you get into the reading that
is truly worth a second look.
All a cover does is provide interest in the book
and the prettiest books are filled with drama.
They have stories of betrayal and broken hearts
stories of lies, deceit, and emotional trauma.
We need to get pass the cover and read the
contents get to know the inside where it counts.
The reading is good when you open the book
and you can gain good info in large amounts.
The most Beautiful stories come out of adversity
the troubles that hurt but the healing is so great.
A taste of hurt brings out character and a quality
that makes you wiser and stronger at any rate.
The outside of a person is just the physical but the
emotional, spiritual, and mental condition means more.
Because if they're unbalanced in those areas you're
in for more drama than you ever had before.
Pretty and handsome account for so little when
the inner person is where the Beauty is real.
The contents of their heart is where the emotions
come from that give you that Lovey dovey feel.
Forget the cover read the book much too often
our eyes have deceived us.
When it comes down to someone special we need
to close our eyes and feel our eyes we can't trust.
Remember no one is that fine and some who are
attractive are just wanted and not Loved at all.
You see the cover is all they're wanted for the
contents aren't read for the cover many fall.
The most Beautiful books don't have the most
prettiest covers it's the reading that will charm.
Bottom line you will be more happier not having
just a conceited trophy on your arm.
I know that Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
but true Beauty is more than what you can see.
Beauty is in the pages of the book the story of
true Love and trust that flows endlessly.
