The Glass House
Within the walls
of a perfect house
is a perfect family.
Pretty wife...
loving husband...
a child or two...
Beauty is only
skin deep
and is shallow...
Unless the beauty
comes from within.
Then beauty is genuine.
Around the house
the glass allows
others to observe.
The glass shatters
and destroys
the people within...
Because beauty
was not genuine.
Beauty was
only skin deep.
Beauty only cared
about herself.
Beauty was an illusion
and only hid the ugly within.

Have you ever come across someone that was so pretty on the outside but so ugly within? Isn't it difficult to be around someone like that? It depends on what you value... If your values are shallow you will not care but if your values are true then it will bother you...
What comes to mind is the verse about building a house on sand. You must always build a house on a firm foundation if you want to withstand the storms in life.
