All That Glitters

All That Glitters

All that sparkles
isn't gold.
Sometimes it's a smile on your face,
or just a hand to hold.

Sometimes all that glitters
Isn't diamonds and pearls,
It isn't just a handsome man,
it isn't just a pretty girl.

At times there's a lesson in helplessness.
When life's at it lowest low,
When people finally come forward-
With love and emotions show.

Sometimes it's a good intention
To make someone feel they're home.
To make them feel loved,
or that they are not alone.

Sometimes it's a compliment made
When all else is hidden without mark,
Sometimes it's walking someone home
So they won't be alone in the dark.

Sometimes it's a whisper out of desperation
that things will be alright
after love and catastrophe
Love shows itself so bright.

At times it's love that glitters
And it isn't always gold-
And when you're lucky there's a hand to hold.
