If the world was blind,

maybe then we'd see

the true side of beauty,

deep within you and me.

No one could judge us

by our outer looks,

like the fancy covers

on expensive books.

We'd see with our hearts,

and not just our eyes,

and what we'd discover

might be a surprise.

There would be no need

to try to impress,

with the way we look,

or the way that we dress.

The only thing that would matter

is the way we would feel,

not phoney or cheap,

but truthful and real.

"If you care for someone give them always a safe

place to cry and never a reason to need it."
