Scales

All scales are liars
They don't weigh out the within 
Never do they tell the truth
Of who a person is

All that should be measured
Is the goodness of the soul
And that is something truthfully
A scale could never hold

A charming perspective, Mike - and that extra weight I've put on is pure sweetness !
