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.

One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.


They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“Very good Dad!”"Did you see how poor people can be?”the father asked.

“Yeah!”

“And what did you learn?”

The son answered, “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon.”When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!”
