All That Glitters Is Not Gold

I-mage is just misleading, 
S-ome things appear so nice; 
A-ll that glitters is not gold, 
B-eauty deceives our eyes.
E-verything that glitters is not gold, things might look worthwhile; 
L-ater we shall find ourselves dismayed without a smile.

D-ay six October morn
I-n our view is a calm river; 
A-nother zone of serenity
S-ilences those talking louder.
A-llow not eyes to judge a thing, 
N-either new one nor old; 
T-ry to sense the inner part, 
A-ll that glitters is not gold.
