Life’s Lessons

I have lived long enough to know

And made enough mistakes to show

That 

Shiny does not mean Valuable 

Engaging does not mean Relatable 

Attractive does not mean Compatible 

Enthusiastic does not mean Reliable 

Dazzling does not mean Brilliant

Informed does not mean Intelligent 

Talkative does not mean Interesting 

Approachable does not mean Interested 

Sympathetic does not mean Caring

Affectionate does not mean Loving 

Attractive does not mean Supportive 

Passionate does not mean Committed 

Skinny does not mean Healthy 

Showy does not mean Wealthy 

Earnest does not mean Trustworthy

Experienced does not mean Accomplished

And

Advising does not mean Wise

But 

If you can find someone 

Who is genuinely 

Reliable, Relatable, Interesting, Compatible, 

Caring, Loving, Committed,

Trustworthy, Supportive, and Wise,

Don’t worry if they’re not  

Skinny, Wealthy, or Brilliant 

Realize that you have 

Discovered a Treasure 

And do what it takes

To keep that Special Person 

In your life 

Forever
