The Unpolished Gem

Many men today will walk away from a plain rock that they may come across but unlike most men, I know that there's beauty within and will keep it while they suffer a loss. A diamond to most is reason to brag and to boast because it glitters and is lovely to see but I'll tell you what, a diamond uncut would be passed by most easily. A woman to me, is like a diamond you see men go for those that other men would like to meet but many a guy will pass right by a plain woman that is just as lovely and sweet. I've found that a plain woman can truly love a man so can an obese woman or what ever the case if men were truly smart, they'd search a woman's heart and not just look for a beautiful face. The beauty that men see could lead to treachery if true love is not involved to find a good women men must look for love not lust and truly love her, then their problems would be solved. A plain woman you see has inner beauty like a diamond that's trapped in a stone however, many men hunt a shine or nice body design wich is why many men are always alone. Let's just face the facts, unless this is how she acts there is no such thing as an ugly woman to me men, we should not judge in haste we all have different taste besides, ugliness is in the heart, not in what we see. All that glitters is not gold so I've been told therefore, I never judge a book by it's cover a woman with no shine could still be made mine and I wouldn't care how she looks to another. Women likewise, pass up on good guys for the handsomer men that they long to hold but they should look twice for there are men just as nice they are just harder to see, like burried gold. All men and women out there should take heed and take care of your love ones whether they are pretty to you or not for there's plenty of others who'll see the beauty in your lovers and will steal what you don't know you've got. So when out on a date or seeking a mate don't pass up the plain her or plain him look well before you leap, for that rock you don't keep could indeed be an unpolished gem. by Benjamin Macieo Davis ThePrinceofPoetry
