All that glitters is not gold but gold is not the only good thing. gold is not the only valuable the only perfect metal in a sparkling world. Could you tell a child who had never seen snow in awe of the shimmering light for the very first time of its glittering deceit? All that glitters is not gold but the whole world is aglow. Would you dare ask a girl with her first kiss her first love why we bother with love if it never lasts? All that glitters is not gold But love is worth its weight. Might you scowl at a mother holding her baby just 2 hours old still new to the world whom she held so tight? Gold is thin and can slide between your fingers like wind through the night. Love is heavy. and light. It holds you to the earth. All that glitters is not gold but gold is just a thing. So tell me, priceless child, why do you discount your diamond soul?
