Cost of Beauty

Beautiful rewards will come at a price Just as exquisite possessions Only a fool believes to be entitled a slice Without sweat, tears and rejections Whatever your paradise may involve Obstacles prepare the green Doors will be shut and problems solved This is the American dream It isn't wise to think that you know it all Great disappointment will follow Before breaking ground, you surely will fall A difficult pill to swallow Dreams are reserved for the resilient Not exactly a door prize Hard work is the formula for becoming brilliant The reward will match in size

I'm still trying to figure out how I have never read your poems before. You are an excellent writer Anna. I have liked everything I have read so far. I haven't come across one bad poem.
