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
