A Cover Deceives

It's not wise to judge a person from the outside...

The hat I wear is tattered and worn,
no fancy feathers or veils adorn.
The color is black as you can see,
it doesn't paint a good picture of me.

You only see the outward wear,
not what lives within to share.
That's why I've decided it's wise,
not to judge what you see on the outside.

A cover can deceive the real thing,
cause us to turn from maybe, "The King."
Think before you point a finger,
a touch from him/her may forever linger.

Barbara this is beautiful and oh so true.
"A Cove Deceives" yes it is so sad when people judge a book by it's cover, how can one ever have a chance at all if that is how other's choose to be. One may never know the beauty that lies beneath if they prejudge others.

This is a very timely write and a very dear thought for all to hold near. All the best to you and continued enlightenments.

Sincerely,
From the Heart of an Artist...

Amen and Amen.
You cannot judge a book by its cover.
And if you truly want to understand someone, try walking in their shoes for awhile. I really enjoy the way your mind works dear Barbara, and how you express your personal experiences in such a palatable way.

Kudos!
Light and Wisdom ...
Richard

A write that contains words to live by...I have learned along this journey called life that one cannot point a finger, cannot make assumptions, or cannot accuse without knowing the person that lives within...many books with beautiful covers I have picked up to read...only to find out that the words within were not what I assumed them to be....great write with a wise message my friend, enjoyed!
Blessings,

Don't judge a book by its cover has been around a long time and is as wise today as it was when it was first said. Good one Barbara.

A lovely poem of wisdom and truth. Did you know that people judge more by their own inner prejudices, rather than by the nature of what they actually observe? When I was a little girl, mama told me, "Honey, don't you pay them any attention when they point their finger at you. Every time they point, three of their fingers are pointing back at them."

How very true. To many people judge others based on the way they choose to wear their hair or the style of clothes they like. If you don't like it don't do it to others. I am pretty sure every mom in the world has said that a time of two!
