Inward and Outward Beauty

If a man is blessed with outward beauty but lacks the beauty of the soul 
Never he, true happiness would find!

However,

If a man lacks outward beauty but is blessed with the fairness of the soul
Never he, unhappiness would know!

As always, I would like to share the honor of the POTW with all of you my friends that stood by me all these years. I also thank the officials of PoetrySoup. Blessings.
